C
Thank
you
and
good
morning
to
everyone.
My
name
is
jeremiah
ellison,
I'm
the
chair
of
the
committee
of
the
whole
I'll
call
to
order
this
special
meeting
for
friday.
Oh
yes,
today
is
not
friday
for
wednesday
june
9th
I'll
note
for
the
record
that
this
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
council
members
and
city
staff
as
authorized
under
the
minnesota
beginning.
C
To
the
declared
state
of
local
public
health
emergency,
additionally,
the
city
will
be
recording
and
posting
this
meeting
to
the
city's
website
and
youtube
channel.
This
meeting
is
public
and
subject
to
the
minnesota
open
meeting
law
at
this
time.
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
role
to
verify
the
presence
of
a
forum.
D
F
D
A
C
Thank
you.
Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum
colleagues,
we
have
one
item
today
and
that
is
a
presentation
from
our
budget
director
on
mayor
fry's
proposed
amendments
to
the
2021
budget
relating
to
the
first
phase
of
proposed
funding
under
the
american
recipe
plan
act.
Before
we
begin
I'd
like
to
review
my
plan
for
conducting
today's
meetings.
C
First
I'll
recognize
the
budget
director
emilia
kruger
for
the
staff
presentation.
If
there
are
specific
issues
or
questions
council
members
can
enter
their
names
to
the
chat,
I
will
note
that
we
are
joined
by
many
of
our
department
heads
for
today's
meeting,
so
they
are
on
standby
to
respond
to
questions
or
issues
that
might
be
raised.
C
C
If
we
finish
the
bulk
of
our
discussion
today,
however,
I
will
adjourn
today's
meeting
and
direct
the
clerk
to
cancel
tomorrow's
meeting
so
hope.
That's
clear,
prior
to
adjourning
I'll,
also
review
the
remaining
timeline
for
this
budget
process
and
then
close
today's
meeting
are
there
an
issue,
any
initial
questions
from
my
colleagues
about
that
plan.
C
All
right
not
seeing
any,
I
know
that
we
have
a
few
council
members
still
trying
to
get
into
the
call
and
I'm
sure
my
colleagues
will
all
be
joining
and
I'll
recognize
folks
as
they're
able
to
join
the
meeting
with
that
I'll
welcome
ms
kruver
and
ask
her
to
present
the
staff
analysis
of
the
proposed
revisions
to
the
2021
budget.
Mrs
kruger,
the
floor
is
yours.
G
Thank
you,
chair
ellison,
I'm
emilia
kruver,
I'm
the
budget
director
and
today
I'm
going
to
start
by
giving
an
overview
of
the
mayor's
recommendation
for
this
phase.
One
planning
of
using
american
rescue
plan
dollars.
G
I
will,
as
as
chair
ellison
stated,
we
have
the
experts
of
department
directors
on
hand
to
answer
any
follow-up
questions
after
my
sort
of
high-level
overview
is
over
so
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please.
G
Great,
so
the
the
agenda
for
today
is
just
to
to
start
with
a
very
brief
refresher
on
what
the
legislation
is.
That's
providing
this
funding
review
the
guidance
that
we
are
following
that
the
authorized
uses
for
this
these
dollars
and
then
move
into
the
mayor's
recommended
proposals
with
plenty
of
time
at
the
end
for
question
and
answers
could
go
the
next
slide.
G
H
G
Million
dollars
through
this
fund,
we
will
be
receiving
these
dollars
in
in
two
pieces.
We've
already
received
the
first
135
million
dollars
and
we
will
be
receiving
the
second
135
million
dollars
in
may
2022,
and
this
is
how
all
cities
that
are
receiving
direct
funding
from
the
federal
governments
are
receiving
their
allocations.
G
G
All
right
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
next
slide
and
a
reminder
that
the
american
rescue
plan
act
has
also
provided
some
of
our
neighboring
jurisdictions.
With
funding,
the
state
has
received
about
2.8
billion
dollars,
they've
they're
planning
to
use
about
a
billion
of
that
in
their
their
budget.
Negotiations
that
are
ongoing
and
they'll
have
some
remaining
dollars
to
spend
for
this
year,
responding
to
the
public
health
crisis
and
in
future
years,
hennepin
county
has
approximately
245
million
dollars
and
our
public
school
system
minneapolis
public
schools
will
have
about
160
million.
G
Other
legislation
is
being
currently
worked
on
in
congress.
We
are
expecting
a
potential
infrastructure
bill
and
then
the
the
regular
federal
appropriation
bill
are
two
pieces
of
legislation
that
I
know
we're
watching
to
make
sure
that
we
are
using
our
dollars
wisely
and
being
aware
of
any
other
potential
funding
opportunities
that
come
our
way
this
year.
G
Let's
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
next
slide,
perfect,
so
a
reminder
about
the
overall
guidance
from
treasury.
The
these
dollars
can
be
spent
essentially
on
a
response
to
the
pandemic
and
its
economic
impacts.
The
guidance
is
broader
than
the
guidance
that
was
given
for
the
cares
dollars
the
city
received
last
year,
but
there
are
still
some
areas
of
uncertainty,
so
I'll
highlight
those
when
I
walk
through
this,
the
first
eligible
use
is
responding
to
the
public
health
emergency.
So,
in
anything,
that
is
addressing
public
health
needs.
G
G
They
they
ask
you
to
assume
that
any
disparities
that
existed
both
in
public
health
outcomes
and
in
economic
recovery
efforts
that
existed
before
the
pandemic
hit
were
exacerbated
by
the
pandemic,
and
so
programs
and
dollars
spent
to
address
that
exacerbating
effect
is
okay,
an
authorized
use
for
these
dollars.
G
So
moving
on
to
the
next
authorized
use
revenue
loss
the
the
guidance
states
that,
with
these
dollars,
we
can
provide
public
service
to
the
extent
of
revenue
loss.
So
that
sounds
pretty
open-ended,
and
this
is
an
area
where
I
know
we
in
minneapolis,
as
well
as
our
colleagues
across
the
country
and
other
states
and
counties
and
local
jurisdictions,
are
asking
a
lot
of
questions
of
our
partners
in
the
treasury,
just
to
make
sure
that
we
are
understanding
what
the
actual
limitations
are.
That
questions
like
does.
G
G
Those
kinds
of
questions
are
still
being
answered,
and
so
that
is
why
this
revenue
loss
category
could
really
free
up
the
the
limitations
on
these
dollars,
but
is
still
a
little
bit
unknown
to
us,
and
so
so
it's
it's
wise
to
use
caution
when,
when
going
down
the
route
of
this
authorized,
use
and
I'll
I'll
speak
to
that
a
little
bit
more
in
the
presentation
as
well
premium
pay.
G
So
the
the
guidance
from
treasury
says
that
folks
that
have
been
on
the
front
lines,
essential
workers,
pr
a
premium
payment
to
compensate
for
the
risk
and
the
work
they've
been
doing
over
the
last
year
is
an
authorized
use.
G
So
three
explicitly
called
out
ineligible
uses
are
depositing
money
into
a
pension
fund,
spending
dollars
on
legal
settlements
or
judgments,
as
well
as
simply
replenishing
rainy
day
funds,
and
then
any
kind
of
debt
service
is
also
allowed,
and
these
really
support
the
overarching
or
one
of
the
overarching
goals
that
the
federal
government
has
for
these
dollars,
which
is
to
aid
in
the
economic
recovery
of
the
country.
G
A
lot
of
folks
have
learned
the
lesson
of
last
great
recession
in
2009-2010
that
local
austerity
measures
led
to
a
much
slower
economic
recovery,
and
so
there
is
focus
on
spending
money,
getting
it
out
the
door
into
the
hands
of
community
and
ensuring
that
cities
and
local
jurisdictions
don't
have
to
lose
lose
as
many
jobs
as
were
lost
in
the
last
recession
or
cut
services.
That
would
negatively
impact
the
economic
recovery.
G
G
Up
here,
you'll
see
a
graph
that
shows
our
revenue
loss
in
2020,
using
the
specific
formula
dictated
by
the
guidance
from
treasury.
So
one
of
the
things
that
the
original
legislation
that
came
out
in
march
that
was
signed
in
march
said
was
in
order
to
figure
out
how
much
revenue
loss
you've
experienced.
You
should
compare
2019
revenues
to
2020
revenues
in
the
new
guidance
that
we've
received.
You
know
about
a
month
ago.
They
say
actually
a
counterfactual
is
fine,
and
so,
in
other
words,
in
a
scenario
in
which
there
was
no
pandemic.
G
A
straight
line
estimate
of
what
your
revenues
might
have
been
without
the
economic
downturn
compared
to
actual
revenues
is
actually
a
more
accurate
calculation
for
what
the
city
has
lost
in
terms
of
revenues.
And
so
that's
what
this
chart
right
here
is
showing
you
this.
G
The
city
had
grown
pretty
pretty
helpfully
in
the
last
couple
of
years,
and
so
when
we
just
use
a
straight
line
estimate
and
compare
it
to
our
actual
revenues
in
2020,
we
have
a
revenue
loss
of
about
280
million
dollars,
so
the
so
that
graph
sort
of
shows
you,
according
to
arp
rules,
what
our
revenue
loss
were
and
then
I
I've
included
a
little
summary
of
our
response
to
that
revenue
loss
as
a
city,
so
you'll
remember
in
2020,
there
were
budget
cuts
mid-year
to
make
sure
that
we
could
take
responsible
steps
to
the
crash.
G
G
We
also
implemented
cuts
across
the
city
to
all
departments,
and
there
are
currently
over
300
positions
that
are
being
held
vacant
so
that
we
can
lower
spending
in
response
to
our
lowered
revenues,
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
next
slide,
all
right.
So
so
with
that
grounding
in
the
legislation,
the
guidance
and
the
context
that
we're
in
I'll
go
ahead
and
walk
through
the
mayor's
recommended
proposals
for
phase
one
of
arp
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
next
slide
perfect.
G
So
some
some
guiding
principles
that
went
into
the
selection
of
these
proposals,
one
they
were
focused
on
immediate
need,
so
they're
focused
on
housing,
instability,
public
safety,
responding
to
the
economic
crisis
and
and
really
focused
on
getting
small
businesses
and
folks
that
have
been
harmed
by
the
economic
recession
ready
and
able
to
to
take
advantage
of
any
opening
up.
That
happens
this
year
in
2021.
G
So
these
are
immediate
needs.
That
was
the
focus
for
these
proposals
also
focused
on
one-time
spending.
So
there
are
a
few
exceptions
and
I
will
note
those
as
we
walk
through,
but
the
vast
majority
of
this
money
is
on
one-time
projects
and
that's
important,
because
if
we
are
adding
ongoing
spending
with
one-time
support
from
the
federal
government,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
have
sustainable
revenues
within
the
city
to
handle
those
costs.
When
the
one-time
support
from
the
federal
government
goes
away.
G
C
Well
first,
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
we've
also
been
at
a
while
ago,
not
just
now,
but
we're
joined
by
the
council
president
lisa
bender
as
well
as
council
member
paul
masano,
so
just
wanted
to
make
note
of
that
and
if
any
of
my
other
colleagues
are
in
the
meeting
who
I
didn't,
I
didn't
recognize
feel
free
to.
Let
me
know,
but
we
also
have
a
question,
I
believe
from
council.
Vice
president
jenkins.
F
G
Great
all
right,
thank
you
so
I'll
move
on
to
the
next
principle.
There's
no
more
questions.
Oh
sorry,
can
you
go
back
back
a
slide?
I
got
a
couple
more
to
talk
about.
Thank
you.
G
So
the
last
one
is
that
these
proposals
should
fit
cleanly
within
the
guidance
I
mentioned
before
that
the
guidance
around
what
counts
as
public
service
for
revenue
loss
is
kind
of
unclear
and
we've
been
working
again
with
colleagues
in
through
you
know:
finance
the
the
government
finance
officers
association
through
the
u.s
council
of
mayors
to
try
and
work
with
other
cities
and
local
jurisdictions
around
the
country
to
see
what
they're
thinking
and
we're
finding
that
this
question
is
coming
up
a
lot.
G
What
does
it
mean
by
providing
public
service
to
the
extent
of
revenue
lost?
So
we
have
stayed
away
from
using
that
authorized
use
in
these
first
round
of
recommendations,
and
that's
because
the
the
rule
that
we
have
is
called
an
interim
final
rule
from
treasury.
They
are
asking
for
and
accepting
comments
and
questions
for
they're
in
in
the
middle
of
a
60-day
period
that
ends
in
mid-july.
G
So
we
expect
that
likely
in
august.
We
will
get
more
clarity
and
that
it
is
a
safer
bet
to
wait
until
round
two
to
spend
money
on
that
authorized.
Use.
G
That
will
also
be
spending
these
money
and,
after
a
really
solid
analysis
of
what
those
future
revenues
are
at
the
city
that
could
sustain
any
any
consideration
of
ongoing
funding
with
arp
dollars
and
the
last
one
is
we've
incorporated
and
tried
to
identify
where
proposals
are
help,
helping
to
meet
s
reap
goals
and
are
working
to
make
sure
that
the
specifics,
the
details
in
these
programs
as
they're
implemented,
will
be
as
line
aligned
as
possible
with
our
city's
estuary
goals.
G
Let's
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
next
slide,
all
right.
So
in
total
this
authorizes
the
these
proposals
make
up
about
88.7
million
in
2021..
The
spending
is
largely
focused
on
housing
and
economic
development,
which
is
why
you
see
cped
taking
up
much
of
the
pie,
because
the
work
that
they
do
on
those
two.
G
So
the
first
area
is
housing
and
homelessness.
The
guy,
the
treasury
guidance
generally
asks
local
governments
that
are
spending
these
dollars
to
think
about
how
people
and
families
and
businesses
have
been
harmed
by
the
pandemic
and
how
your
proposal
program
or
spending
will
specifically
address
that
harm.
So
the
proposals
in
this
section
are
really
aimed
at
folks
that
are
experiencing.
G
G
Sorry,
well,
I
think
I'm
just
kidding
I'll
keep
going
there.
We
go
perfect
so
folks
that
are
experiencing
homelessness,
folks,
that
are
at
at
risk
of
losing
their
homes,
but
it
also
has
proposals
that
address
existing
inequities
that
have
been
exacerbated
by
the
pandemic.
So
there
are
specific
proposals
in
there
to
get
low
income
folks
into
home
ownership
as
well
as
buy
folks
into
homeownership,
and
that
is
28.3
million
dollars
of
this
total
proposal
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
next
slide.
G
So
one
of
the
the
first
authorized
uses
is
responding
to
businesses
and
people
who
have
been
harmed
by
the
economic
downturn
caused
by
the
pandemic,
and
so
in
this
proposal,
you'll
see
lots
of
funding
going
to
proposals
at
the
at
cped
and
they
are
focused
on
a
couple
of
things.
There
is
a
cluster
of
proposals
around
cultural
districts
that
are
focused
on
technical
assistance,
improvements
to
buildings,
as
well
as
just
services
like
trash
pickup
street
lighting,
making
sure
that
folks
are
encouraged
and
feeling
good
about
visiting
local
businesses
again.
G
There's
also
a
lot
of
enhancement
to
our
small
business
support
and,
and
those
folks
can
speak
a
little
bit
more
in
depth
to
those
proposals
after
we
get
through
it.
But
this
is
the
largest
area
of
spending
in
the
mayor's
proposal,
and
it
is
aimed
at
really
supporting
those
folks
that
have
been
harmed
by
the
economic
downturn.
I
will
say:
there's
also
a
proposal
in
there
to
support
arts
and
artists
directly,
I'm
going
to
go
to
the
next
slide,
so
public
safety.
This
is
about
11
million
dollars.
G
Eleven
and
a
half
million
dollars
of
the
proposal
is
aimed
at
public
safety,
and
these
are
dollars
that
are
are
addressing
what
nationwide
has
been
experienced
during
the
pandemic,
which
is
an
increase
in
crime.
So
the
guidance
asks
us
specifically
to
again
look
at
the
negative
impacts
caused
by
the
pandemic
and
think
of
proposals
that
specifically
address
that
so
nationwide
there
has
been
an
increase
in
crime.
G
Go
ahead
go
to
the
next
slide,
so
climate
and
public
health.
The
federal
guidance
says
that
any
any
response
to
the
public
health
crisis
is
an
authorized
use.
In
addition,
the
the
guidance
encourages
departure
local
jurisdictions
to
take
a
look
at
disparities
that
existed
in
public
health
before
the
pandemic
that
have
been
exacerbated
during
the
pandemic.
So
you
will
see
proposals
in
here
around
food
access,
mental
health
care,
as
well
as
a
proposal
aimed
at
eliminating
childhood
lead
poisoning.
G
We
know
that
children
have
spent
much
more
time
in
their
homes
over
the
last
year
than
they
normally
would
with
schools
working
remote
schools
going
remotely,
and
so
these
proposals
are
aimed
at
impacting
sort
of
the
social
determinants
of
health,
broadly
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
next
slide.
G
G
These
proposals-
and
there
are
also
additional
dollars
that
are
going
to
the
convention
center
via
minneapolis,
so
that
they
can
help
revitalize
the
tourism
and
hospitality
industry
that
has
been
hardest
hit.
Minneapolis
there's
also
dollars
in
here
going
to
our
I.t
departments
to
help
connectivity
in
in
neighborhoods
that
don't
have
regular
access
to
high-speed
internet,
which
has
been
just
a
lifeline
to
some
families
during
the
pandemic,
who
have
been
doing
everything
from
home
so
that,
I
believe,
is
our
last
big
goal
area
going
to
go
to
the
next
slide.
G
G
One
is
is
temporary
positions,
so,
as
I
mentioned,
there's
about
10
temporary
ftes,
funded
in
departments
like
finance
hr,
as
well
as
support
in
I.t,
and
I
believe
I'm
missing
one
as
well
as
in
our
department
of
race
and
equity,
as
they
prepare
for
a
participatory
budgeting
process
to
be
funded
in
the
second
round
of
arp
deliberations.
G
G
There's
also
one
proposal
in
the
public
safety
goal
area
called
civilianization
and-
and
this
proposal
is
aimed
at
hiring
unfreezing
physicians
that
are
currently
frozen
to
perform
duties,
that
sworn
officers
in
mpd
are
currently
doing
so
that
those
sworn
officers
can
be
freed
up
to
respond
to
emergency
needs,
and
so
the
idea
is
that
these
are
unfreezing
positions
and
the
ongoing
impact
of
of
bringing
back
those
positions
after
2021
will
be
something
that
is
considered
and
dealt
with
in
the
mayor's
2022
budget.
G
So
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
different
flavor
of
fte
in
these
proposals.
Let's
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
next
slide,
so
I
also
want
to
address
proposals
with
costs
in
the
tails.
So
these
proposals,
as
I
mentioned,
were
really
chosen
because
they
are
one
time
in
nature
to
try
and
get
money
out
the
door.
Several
of
these
proposals
you'll
see
again
likely
in
in
around
two
deliberations
because
they
are
there.
There
is
an
ongoing
need
these
proposals
just
this
handful.
G
We
are
including
authorization
of
spending
into
the
years
22
and
23,
because
they
are
either
hiring
staff
and
we
want
to
hire
staff
for
two
years
at
a
time
instead
of
in
six
months
chunks
or
it's
providing
a
service.
So
you'll
see
that
mental
health
care
for
city
staff,
which
is
one
of
the
proposals
that
is
included
funding
for
the
rest
of
21
and
22.
G
It's
expected
that
in
23
we
will
be
able
to
sort
of
assess
how
it's
going
and
make
a
determination
if
we
should
roll
that
into
our
regular
provision
of
benefits
and
pay
for
it.
G
G
But
it's
the
intention
of
the
mayor
to
consider
the
ongoing
spending
of
that
in
his
2022
recommended
budget.
So
this
is.
These
are
the
exceptions
to
that
principle.
I
mentioned
earlier
about
funding
that
is
reaches
into
22
and
23..
The
rest
of
the
proposals
are
one
time
and
any
additional
authorized
spending
in
arp
will
come
through
round
two
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
next
slide,
all
right.
So
so
that's
my
overview
of
the
proposals
and
the
mayor's
phase.
G
C
Yeah,
thank
you
so
much
for
the
presentation
and
I
see
that
we
have
council
president
bender
in
the
chat.
I
I
think
my
biggest
question
kind
of
overall
as
a
theme
is,
I
mean,
there's
so
many
great
ideas
here,
a
lot
of
things
that
I
think
well,
there
would
be
a
lot
of
consensus.
I
My
biggest
concern
is
about
the
capacity
in
the
various
areas
of
our
city's
departments
and
the
enterprise
to
implement
this
work,
and
I
think,
there's
quite
a
unequal
amount
of
capacity
depending
on
how
the
department
is
structured
and
how
much
this
fits
into
the
normal
structure
of
the
department.
I
What
kind
of
capacity
is
there
in
our
existing
city
department
staff
to
evaluate
programs,
especially
that
are
in
a
pilot
phase,
I'm
a
little
concerned
that
we
continue
to
ask
in
some
departments
a
very
small
group
of
staff
to
do
nine
jobs
where
other
departments
are
better
resourced
because
they
are
set
up
to
administer,
grant
funds
and
do
evaluation
work
as
more
of
their
day-to-day
operations.
In
a
typical
year-
and
I
think
I
would
like
to
get
some
detail
about
that-
like
I
would
like
to
see,
if
possible,
the
org
charts
the
number
of
ftes.
I
If
there
has
been
identified
the
names
of
the
staff,
people
who
would
be
responsible
for
administering
new
programs
or
to
the
the
degree
to
which
it's
possible.
I
think
this
needs
to
be
answered
in
some
detail,
because
I
think
this
has
been
a
ongoing
and
perpetual
problem
that
we
haven't
been
able
to
figure
out
how
to
solve
at
a
policy
maker
level.
I
G
Yeah,
so
I
I
will
start
by
giving
just
a
little
bit
more
information,
a
little
more
detail
about
the
proposals
that
I
kind
of
went
through
quickly.
I
think
that
big
picture
there
are
several
opportunities
to
think
about
staffing
at
the
city
in
the
next
like
six
months.
This.
This
is
certainly
one
and
I
think,
especially,
funding
temporary
staff
for
the.
G
For
proposals
that
are
getting
large
increases
in
dollar
amounts
is
totally
fair
game
for
for
this
round
of
arp
spending.
I
think
also
in
the
2022
budget
conversation
when
we
think
about
that
that
full
number
300
frozen
positions
that
are
existing
at
the
city
right
now.
That's
also
a
chance
to
dig
a
little
bit
deeper
into
just
the
existence.
G
How
many
people
are
refunding
in
the
base
to
to
your
point
about
capacity-
and
you
know,
disparities
that
may
have
have
been
built
in
over
time
and
then
the
next
one
is
is
around
arp
funding
the
the
next
chunk
of
arp
funding.
G
Where
can
we?
Where
can
we
maybe
increase,
add
back
ftes
using
arp
dollars
in
a
way
that's
sustainable
by
future
revenues
so
and,
and
just
real
quick
to
give
some
details
the
implementation
proposal
for
part-time
staffers?
It
includes
help
in
2021
for
communications.
G
G
It
includes
three
ftes
in
finance,
one
in
budget,
one
in
procurement,
because
these
proposals
will
be
rolling
through
our
same
procurement
process
and
we
know
they'll
need
support
as
well
as
one
in
our
grants
team
grants
accounting
so
that
they
can
focus
on
all
the
sub-recipient
requirements
in
federal
grants
like
this,
there
is
a
grants
manager
in
health.
There
is.
There
are
two
hr
representatives
that
are
a
part
of
this
to
prepare
for
the
hiring
that
we'll
be
doing.
I
Thank
you.
That's
really
helpful
and
I'll
just
say
that
you
know
to
the
department,
heads
or
division
directors
or
folks
who'll
be
implementing
this.
We
need
to
know
now
if
this
isn't
workable,
because
as
policy
makers,
we
don't
make
management
decisions,
we
are
not
in
a
role
to
manage
the
day-to-day
operations
of
the
city.
We
are
policy
makers
and
we
have
to
use
the
times
where
we're
making
policy
to
make
sure
that
we
are
doing
that
from
a
lens
of
something
that
will
work
operationally.
I
So
this
is
the
time
to
let
us
know
if
anything
here
is
not
going
to
work
from
an
operational,
operational
or
management
perspective
when
we
still
have
time
to
do
something
about
it.
Thanks
miss
krueger.
C
Thank
you,
council
president,
and
I
just
want
to
note
that
council
vice
president
jenkins
noted
that
that
was
also
the
point
that
she
was
trying
to
make
earlier,
which
I
think
just
indicates
how
much
of
a
concern
it
is.
Councilmember.
J
Thank
you,
chair
ellison,
and
thank
you,
ms
kruger.
I
I
wonder
if
you
can
just
clarify
for
us,
so
I
I
recognize
that
there's
spending
commitments
that
were
being
asked
to
make
in
this
proposal
that
go
into
22
and
23.
are
the
2022
and
20
20.
23
amounts
included
in
the
dollar
amount
that
we're
considering
as
part
of
phase
one
or
are
we
committing
part
of
phase
two
by
approving
these
projects
with
the
kind
of
urgent,
timely
funding?
J
Knowing
that
part
of
phase
two
dollars
are
going
to
have
to
go
to
support
things,
commitments
that
we're
making
this
month,
you
know
as
a
part
of
this
process.
So
I
guess,
if
you
can
just
sort
of
clarify
that
for
us
about
it,
if,
if,
if
we're
sort
of
locking,
if
we're
actually
committing
more
than
it
seems
like
we're,
committing,
which
it
kind
of
looks
like
to
me
from
a
couple
other
spreadsheet
items,.
G
Yes,
so
great
question,
and
this
is
something
that
I
think
we
need
to
clarify
a
little
bit
more
from
our
rollout
on
friday.
So
just
for
those
positions
we
are
including
authorizing
those
amounts
in
round
one.
So
the
authorized
amount
for
2021
spending
is
88.7
million.
Then
there
is
some
tail
spending
that
would
also
be
authorized
in
this
proposal
of
about.
I
think
it's
like
10
or
12
million,
to
support
those
those
staff,
as
well
as
the
the
mental
health
expansions
of
city
employees.
G
So
that's
a
good
question
and
we're
hoping
to
clarify
that
a
little
bit
today.
K
Thank
you,
charles
and
I
just
actually
want
to
kind
of
follow
up
on
the
same
vein
of
as
council
member
fletcher.
It's
specifically
on
the
the
green
cost
share.
Those
are
those
are
fantastic
investments
and
I'm
really
excited
to
see
them
there,
but
kind
of
to
your
point
director
culver
like
what.
How
do
when
will
we
kind
of
see
what
is
in
kind
of
the
next,
the
next
version
of
funds
or
kind
of
what
the
what
the
vision
is
from
the
directors
of
those
departments.
G
So
that's
a
great
question
and
I'll
pause.
If
anybody
wants
to
speak
directly
to
them,
I
know
you
will
see
proposals
coming
very
likely
for
green
cost
share
investments
in
the
future
because,
as
you
mentioned,
there
is
clear
demand
for
those
dollars.
That's
one
of
the
rationale
for
including
it
in
this
funds
because
we
know
they're,
there
are
folks
that
are
eligible
and
in
in
need
of
that
funding.
So
I
think
the
the
decision
about
how
many
of
these
programs
to
keep
spending
money
on
in
round
two
will
be
a
difficult
one.
G
We
271
million
dollars
is
going
to
go
fast
because
of
these
proposals
and
I
think
that
the
quality
of
them.
So
I
will
let,
if
there's
anybody
else
here
that
wants
to
speak
to
the
green
kosher
program.
But
I
think
your
question
is
a
good
one
and
we'll
have
to
tackle
phase
two
when
we
get
there.
C
You
all
right,
I
don't
see
anybody
else
coming
to
speak
up
on
that
on
that
issue.
Councilmember
cunningham.
E
Thank
you,
councilmember
ellison
and
thank
you
miss
krueger.
This
has
been
a
really
great
presentation
and
I'm
excited
about
many
of
these
investments.
I'm
excited
to
see
them.
You
know
many
of
these
things
are
things
I've
been
fighting
for
for
years
now,
and
so
I'm
excited
to
see
it.
You
know
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that
the
concern
around
you
know
these
are
things
I
would
like
to
see
ongoing
in
a
budget
as
well.
You
know
I
one
of
the
things
that
that
we
know
from
public
safety.
E
Related
research
is
that
we
can
decrease.
We
can
invest
very
heavily
in
interventions
and
various
strategies
and
different
approaches,
and
then
we
lower
it
like
lower
the
crime
and
violence,
and
you
know
people
are
starting
to
feel
safer
and
then
we're
like
great.
We
don't
need
to
invest
in
that
anymore,
and
then
it
goes
right
back
up.
E
We've
seen
that,
even
here
in
minneapolis,
when
we
implemented
a
similar
version
of
gdi
in
the
90s,
we
saw
homicides
go
down,
it
was
no
longer
invested
in
so
so
we've
seen
that
even
here
locally,
and
so
you
know
do
I
just
want
to
you
know,
agree
and
uplift
with
my
colleagues
concerns
specifically
just
speaking
to
you
know
public
safety
issues,
knowing
the
ebb
and
flow
of
funding
for
strategies,
because
it's
like
once
things
start-
and
this
happens
in
public
health
too,
where
it's
like
things
start
to
work,
and
so
then
people
are
like
great.
E
We
don't
need
to
invest
in
that
anymore
and
so
there's
programs
long
term.
I
think
that
that's
important,
because
what
I'm
going
to
be
supporting
here,
you
know
as
we're
moving
forward,
are
largely
going
to.
Oh,
like
the
things
I'm
saying
here.
E
I'm
super
excited,
like
you
know,
we
need
funding,
gbi,
junior
or
the
adolescent
based
gbi,
that's
directly
connected
to
the
staff
direction
that
we
unanimously
passed
last
year,
and
so
I'm
excited
to
see
funding
going
into
that
to
implement
it,
but
teens
are
still
gonna
need
that
support
right,
and
so
you
know
I
just
want
us
to
think
about.
Yes,
we
need
to
address
the
immediate
needs
and
also
how
are
we
being
mindful
in
this
process
connecting
it
to
future
spending?
E
I
did
have
a
a
specific
question
and
this
is
for
the
health
department
is
the
proposed
money
for
the
lead
poisoning.
Elimination
is
that
connected
to
the
eliminating
childhood
lead
poisoning
action
plan
that
we
initiated
through
counseling
are
those
two
things.
E
G
But
so
I'll
say
I
I
suspect
the
answer
is
yes
and
I'll
get.
It
sounds.
L
E
C
Great
I'm
gonna
call
back
on
to
on
the
council.
President
accounts.
President
bender
has
a
few
more
questions.
I
Thanks,
mr
chair,
I
was
hoping
to
ask
dr
brennan
some
questions
about
the
housing
and
homelessness
proposals
and
there
are
likely
maybe
questions
from
other
council
members
who
work
on
some
of
the
other
key
areas.
Similarly,
and
I
I
know
we
can
also
follow
up,
but
director
brennan,
I
think
this
is
a
good
example
of
a
topic
where
it
would
be
helpful
to
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
the
timing
of
getting
the
funding
out
the
door
and
what
what
we
can
expect
and
what
what
we
can
help.
I
You
know
what
kind
of
expectations
to
share
with
community.
I
think
the
proposal
is
a
really
good
balance
of
immediate
short-term
strategies
like
getting
folks
out
doing
direct
service
and
encampments,
helping
connect,
people
to
services
and
some
longer-term
investments
that
will
help
in
the
in
the
long
term,
with
housing
stability.
I
M
Sure,
council,
chair
ellison
and
council
president
bender-
I
can
do
that
so
there's,
there's
five
main
categories
of
housing
and
homelessness
response
proposals,
and
I
will
just
touch
briefly
on
all
five
of
them.
The
first
is
housing
stability
for
low-income,
renters
and
homeowners.
That's
about
7
million
of
the
28
million
proposed,
and
this
is
to
again
provide
some
immediate
relief
for
both
renters
and
and
homeowners,
who
are
facing
us
pretty
severe
housing
instability,
the
the
affordable
home
ownership
preservation,
grant
program
of
200
000
is
something
that
actually
will
regulate.
M
Regulatory
services
will
will
work
directly
with
habitat
for
humanity,
and
that's
that's
something
that
they
can
contract
with
very
quickly
to
work
in
partnership
there,
the
1.5
million
dollars
is
proposed
to
assist
homeowners,
who
are
at
risk
of
of
foreclosure,
and
this
is
this
is
something
that
was
proposed
to
us
through
the
the
city
of
lakes,
community
land
trust
to
again
they've
they've.
M
They
have
a
list
of
folks
that
they've
been
working
with
they
can
they
will
advertise
and
get
the
word
out
that
there
will
be
more
opportunities
there,
but
it's
it's
really
an
opportunity
for
people
who
really
can't
sustain
long-term
being
in
their
home
and
the
land.
Trust
could
be
a
a
really
important
partner.
M
There
is
another,
is
heritage
park,
emergency
stabilization
support.
This
is
public
housing
and
tax
credit
housing
located
in
the
heritage
park,
neighborhood
that
there
are
some
very
significant
physical
needs
at
this
property.
That
is
jeopardizing
the
stability
of
the
renters
who
are
living
there,
and
so
this
would
be
an
emergency
grants.
375
000
that
we
could
get
deployed
very,
very
quickly.
M
One
million
dollars
is
proposed
for
housing
stabilization.
This
is
land,
trust
and
perpetual,
affordable
housing
models
and
again
you're
gonna,
you're
gonna
hear
this
a
lot,
as
I
run
through
these,
these
individual
proposals
a
lot
of
partnerships,
because
capacity
was,
as
many
of
you
have
heard
from
me
many
times
at
the
forefront
of
of
our
concerns
as
well.
So
we
really
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
relying
where
we
could
on
capacity
of
of
community
partners.
M
So
this
million
dollars
is
proposed
to
work
with
the
city
of
lakes,
community
land
trust
and
the
proposal
there
is
to
work
with
existing
minneapolis
renters,
who
are
low
income
and
to
help
them
provide
resources
to
them
to
go
out
and
purchase
homes
on
their
own,
and
then
they
would
partner
with
the
land,
trust
and,
and
that
would
the
home
would
be
selected
by
the
the
home
buyer,
but
then
would
then
become
part
of
the
land,
trust,
perpetual,
affordable
model,
we're
proposing
2
million
in
the
noaa
preservation
fund
and
the
these
funds.
M
We
have
existing
programs,
the
noaa,
the
noaa
preservation
fund
and
the
small
media
multi-family
program,
our
goal.
There
would
be
to
get
the
word
out
to
to
our
our
renter
advocate
partners
and
our
our
other
partners
in
preservation
to
make
sure
that
they're
aware
that
the
city
has
funds,
if
this
is
approved
available
or
for
targeted
preservation
efforts,
we're
proposing
2
million
in
low
income,
home
repairs
maintenance
again.
M
This
is
this
would
be
adding
to
existing
programs
that
we
have
that
are
over
subscribed
that
we're
actually
not
even
marketing
to
low-income
homeowners
right
now,
because
we
we
don't
have
sufficient
resources
to
help
all
of
those
who
we
know
have
needs
for
home
improvements
to
their
home
and
again.
M
These
are
focused
heavily
on
on
safety,
health
and
livability,
and
in
environmental
efficiency
type
improvements,
and
so
the
two
million
dollars
that
what
we
would
do
is
we
would
we
would
just
market
this
program
and-
and
we
feel
like
we
have
sufficient
staffing
to
to
move
forward
with
that.
The
second
category
is
homelessness.
Response.
M
That's
about
six
million
dollars
of
the
28
million.
The
encampment
response
of
one
million
dollars
is
it's
just.
You
know
we
are
incurring
a
lot
of
costs
related
to
the
existing
encampments
in
the
city,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
sufficient
resources
so
that
we
can.
We
can
provide
the
necessary
services
to
unsheltered
persons
who
are
residing
at
encampments
and
also
if
there
are
specific
interventions
that
we
can
do
to
help
move
people
more
directly
into
shelter
or
housing.
M
We
are
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
resources
to
do
that.
Another
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
proposed
for
a
homelessness
response,
flexible
fund.
We
would
propose
to
solicit
proposals
from
community
organizations
and
and
make
that
available
more
widely
to
again,
ask
folks
to
come
forward
and
bring
proposals
to
us
say
that
we
are
willing
to
partner
and
to
provide
funding
for
innovative
responses
to
homelessness
needs
some
of
the
some
of
the
most
successful
models
that
we've
been
able
to
actually
get
implemented
in
the
last
year.
M
We
have
heard
from
some
of
our
homeless
providers
that
they
are
exploring
opportunities
to
to
move
very
immediately
to
acquire
property,
rehab
property
and
make
it
available
for
for
people
who
are
currently
in
shelter
or
unsheltered
situations
and
move
them
into
a
permanent
housing
solution,
and
so
again
that
would
be
the
2.5
million
would
be
a
solicitation
where
we
would.
We
would
see
what
proposals
are
out
there.
Finally,
there's
two
million
dollars
proposed
for
a
women's
shelter.
M
Now
this
is
related
to
federal
emergency
solutions,
grants
funds
that
were
awarded
during
the
coven
pandemic
to
the
city
we've
already.
The
city
has
already
committed
some
of
that
funding
for
rehabilitation
for
a
women's
shelter.
This
is
the
same
women's
shelter.
This
is
the
shelter
that
the
county
working
with
salvation
army
has
been
looking
to
locate
and
invest
in.
This
is
really
critical
part
of
our
overall
homelessness
response
system
to
making
sure
that
we
have
sufficient
capacity
for
women's
shelter.
M
So
again,
we
know
hennepin
county
is
actively
looking
for
a
site
right
now
and
we
expect
those
funds
would
be
used
within
definitely
in
2021..
The
third
area
is
reducing
racial
disparities
in
homeownership,
just
about
four
and
a
half
million
dollars
for
that
and
mo
there.
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
all
of
these
individual
proposals.
Also
I'd
like
to
highlight
a
couple
of
them,
but
these
are
all
proposals
that
are
before
us
right
now.
M
So
as
as
we've
been
before
you
before,
and
this
council
has
approved
really
extensive
changes
to
our
minneapolis
homes
program
to
far
to
target
that
our
home
ownership
assistance
to
lower-income
households
to
target
to
more
black
indigenous
people
of
color
households
and
to
really
ensure
that
we
are
eliminating
racial
disparities
in
the
home
ownership.
M
And
so
we
have
way
more
proposals
in
the
current
minneapolis
homes
round
and
the
majority
of
which
are
for
perpetually
affordable
housing,
some
of
which
are
in
missing
middle
type,
affordable
home
ownership
housing.
So
what
we're
proposing
is
that
another
2.4
million
be
added
to
the
minneapolis
homes
missing
middle
budget,
so
that
we
can
just
go
ahead
and
fund
these
proposals
that
are
in
front
of
us
right
now,
so
that
those
projects
can
get
underway
and
we
can
bring
more
deeply,
not
deeply
but
affordable
homes
for
for
current
minneapolis
renters.
M
Another
thing
I
want
to
highlight
this
is
something
that's
a
little
bit
more
of
seed
money,
but
we
are
also
proposing
something
very
new
and
innovative
here.
In
partnership
with
build
wealth,
minnesota
build
wealth,
minnesota
is
proposing
to
create
a
first
mortgage
equity
fund
that
will
do
manual
underwriting.
M
We
know
that
one
of
the
barriers
to
particularly
black
and
african-american
households,
attaining
homeownership
is
has
to
do
with,
with
with
barriers
related
to
mortgage
lending
and
build
wealth,
has
done
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
in
identifying
the
mortgage
products
that
that
are
really
needed
in
in
the
community,
and
so
the
this
will
be
a
500
million
dollar.
M
I'm
sorry
a
500
000
grant
to
to
build
wealth,
and
it
would
be
contingent
on
them
leveraging
those
funds
by
raising
another
two
million
dollars
so
that
they
can
create
this
significant
first
mortgage
equity
loan
fund.
But
the
timing
is
really
critical
in
order
for
them
to
leverage
these
additional
funds.
We
do
have
to
make
the
investment
now,
but
that
is
the
one.
M
The
one
piece
on
the
reducing
racial
disparities
in
homeownership
that
we
probably
won't
spend
immediately,
but
we
we
would
need
to
commit
immediately
in
order
to
ensure
that
that
works
and
then
the
the
the
fourth
area
is
to
really
promote
new
low
barrier
housing
models.
So
one
is
a
five
million
dollar
fund
that
could
be
used
for
a
low
barrier,
single
room,
occupancy
sro
pilots,
and
what
we
want
to
do
there
is
we
want
to
partner
with
the
county.
M
Who's,
also
allocated
some
funding
for
sro
housing
and
do
a
coordinated
request
for
proposals
so
that
we
can
try
to
again
we're
trying
to
shift
culture
in
our
development
community
and
our
affordable
housing
community.
And
so
we
really
want
to
signal
that
the
the
city
is
working
on
this
ordinance
that
would
essentially
legalize
sros
throughout
the
city.
So
this
is
really
signaling
to
the
development
community
that
we
need
to
see
proposals.
M
We
need
to
get
these
online
as
soon
as
possible,
because
getting
more
sros
in
place
as
quickly
as
we
can
is
a
really
critical
part
of
our
of
our
strategy
to
prevent
and
end
homelessness.
M
Also
in
this
category
is
1.2
million
dollars
for
the
envision
pilot
envision
is
a
intentional
community
like
cluster
development,
that
is,
that
has
been
envisioned
by
people
who
have
lived
experience
being
homeless,
and
this
is
this-
the
this
development.
This
proposal
has
been
in
the
works
for
a
number
of
years.
Now
this
is
a
moment
this,
this
opportunity
to
provide
funding
to
them
is
actually
the
catalyst
that
could
get
them
this.
M
This
development
started
in
2021,
so
we're
really
excited
about
the
possibility
of
american
rescue
plan
act,
funding
actually
being
able
to
get
this
project
finally
started
because
again,
this
is
another
model
that
could
be
replicated
and
could
be
a
really
important
part
of
our
homelessness
response
system
and
then
finally,
the
last
piece
is:
is
4.6
million
dollars
to
fund
mpha
and
again
the
timing
is
really
critical.
M
The
the
start
of
this
of
this
development
won't
happen
until
2022,
but
this
this
project
is,
is
really
important
because
it
will
create
family
units
deeply
deeply,
affordable
public
housing,
family
units,
84
of
them
all
a
minimum
of
two
bedroom
units,
a
lot
of
them
three
bedroom
units
that
will
be
developed
in
in
all
parts
of
the
city,
so
throughout
the
city,
and
we
think
this
is
that
this
is
a
tremendous
opportunity
to
build
on
the
the
the
new
regulation
under
minneapolis
2040
to
allow
more
of
that
missing
middle
type,
housing
and
create
more
deeply
affordable
rental
housing
for
families
that
we
know
are
in
desperate
need
of
it.
M
So
I
hope
I
didn't
speak
too
long,
but
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
any
further
questions
about
this
as
it
relates
to
capacity.
I
will
say
that
it
it.
The
the
the
ftes
that
are
requested
for
cpad
to
implement
these
are
are
absolutely
critically
needed,
as
well
as
unfreezing
positions
as
soon
as
possible.
C
Thank
you,
director
brennan.
I
believe,
council
members
trader
has
a
few
more
follow-up
questions.
K
Sure
thank
you,
charleston
and
thank
you
director,
brenda
brennan.
That
was
a
really
good
overview
of
the
whole
thing
I
did.
I
did
want
to
follow
up
kind
of
on
the
on
the
capacity
issue,
and
just
even
I
hear
you
very
loud
and
clear
that
you
very
much
need
those,
but
I
did
want
to
just
even
pose
the
question
if
that
will
be
enough
and
just
to
really
make
sure
that
we
have
the
capacity
in
cped
and
also
tie
that
to
another
issue.
We
keep
hearing
from
our
community
partners
as
well.
K
We've
heard
pretty
consistently
from
community
partners
just
kind
of
a
lack
of
transparency
around
like
how
long
it
takes
to
implement
and
develop
different
policies
at
the
city
and
to
give
you
some
examples
like
the
just
the
work
your
staff
did
around
the
envision
with
myself
and
the
other
authors
was
phenomenal
and
just
how
quickly
and
how
thoroughly
that
was
done
compared
also
with
like
right
now,
working
on
a
tenant
opportunity,
purchase
act,
there's
a
lot
of
frustrated
community
partners
that
this
has
been
taking
a
long
time
and
one
of
the
arguments
they
say
is
that
you
know
they
do
the
same
work
and
would
be
able
to
push
this
forward
so
as
we're
kind
of
implementing
like
as
you're
implementing
new
employees
and
really
pushing
through
a
lot
of
these
programs.
K
I
did
also
want
to
kind
of
add
the
point
of
if
there's
another
way,
to
add
transparency,
around
kind
of
the
staff,
time
and
kind
of
how
that
is,
is
happening
and
one
of
the
community
partners
actually
asked
if
we
have
some
kind
of
software
that
does
that
tracks
time.
K
So
is
just
I'm
not
suggesting
that
what
I
am
just
suggesting
is,
as
we
kind
of
implement
these
dollars,
really
finding
a
way
to
be
more
transparent
with
our
community
partners
about
how
things
work
differently
compared
with
you
know
like
an
sro,
which
is
something
that
is
very
similar
to
other
programs.
M
I
can
respond
to
that
briefly,
chair
ellison
and
councilmember
schrader.
I
I
really
can't.
M
I
don't
think
I
can
emphasize
enough
how
how
much
our
capacity
has
been
strained
in
the
last
year
and
and
and
yes,
I
continue
to
be
very
concerned
about
the
health
and
well-being
of
our
entire
team,
because
a
lot
has
been
asked
of
us
and
I
think
that
we
have
delivered
a
tremendous
amount
in
the
last
year
under
extremely
challenging
circumstances,
and
I
you
know
we
have
been
balancing
all
year-
the
need
to
identify
what
are
the
most
urgent
needs
of
our
community
and
how
can
we
best
pivot
and
change?
M
What
we're
doing
to
respond
to
the
highest
priority
needs
that
our
residents
and
our
businesses
really
need
us
to
be
there
for
them
to
do,
and
so
there
is
a
lot
that
has
been
put
on
hold.
There
are
a
lot
of.
There
is
a
lot
of
work
that
that
has
slowed
down
and
been
on
hold
as
we've
as
we
have
been
working
basically
for
for
more
than
a
year
on
emergency
response,
I
mean
we
have.
M
We
started
in
in
april
of
last
year
working
on
emergency
forgivable,
loan
programs
for
businesses,
emergency
rental
assistance
for
residents
and
homelessness
response,
and
all
of
that-
and
it's
continued
frankly
without
a
break,
and
we
absolutely
try
to
be
as
transparent
as
we
can
be.
There
is,
and
one
of
the
ways
that
we
try
to
do
that
is
to
just
to
make
sure
that
we're
communicating
out
all
of
this
new
work
that
that
we
have
shifted
to
so
we've.
M
Just
comple
we've
been
trying
to
make
sure
that
we're
updating
our
website
to
make
sure
that
we're
communicating
with
the
public
and
with
our
our
really
important
community
stakeholders
that
this
is
the
work
that
we're
doing
right
now
and-
and
you
know
if,
if
this
is
not,
if
we're,
if
we're
not
working
on
the
highest
priority
work,
then
by
all
means
I
mean
we.
We
want
to
to
hear
that
and
and
pivot
to
the
most
high
priority
work,
because
that
is.
M
That
is
the
mindset,
and
that
is
how
we
have
essentially
operationalized
our
our
department
in
the
last
year
to
make
sure
that
that's
what
we're
able
to
do.
K
Thank
you,
director,
brennan.
I
I
think
that
that's
really
helpful.
I
think
just
to
frame
the
question
in
a
different
different
way
or
maybe
maybe
might
come
in
a
different
way
when
it
like
when
I
first
came
in
you
had
I'd,
talked
to
you
about
doing
just
kind
of
a
shift
in
how
cpad
had
done
a
lot
of
its
housing
programs
like
there
was
a
lot
of
really
great
work
done
being
done,
but
it
wasn't
really
tracked
the
same
way.
K
It
is
now-
and
you
came
forward
with
that
amazing
report-
I
think,
was
just
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago
that
really
showed
like
here's,
what
we're
doing
at
every
income
level,
and
it
just
really
really
helped
policy
wise
to
make
sure
that
we're
hitting
all
parts
every
part
of
the
city
and
really
be
able
to
chart
a
path
to
actually
end
homelessness.
You
know
and
make
sure
that
everyone
does
have
a
home,
and
I
guess
I'm.
K
I
I'm
basically
asking
for
something
very
similar
like
how
do
we
if
there
is
a
change
that
needs
to
happen
to
be
more
transparent
to
to
our
community
partners,
because
I
mean
the
reason
they're
asking
is
because
they
want
to
be
helpful.
You
know
they
have
some
capacity.
K
They
see
how
hard
the
city
is
working
to
to
get
to
the
same
goal
they
are
and
they
want
to
be
able
to
help,
and
so
just
if
there
is
some
opportunity
with
these
new
funds
and
as
we
expand
to
to
really
do
that
work,
you
know
I
would
be
happy
to
be.
M
Three
years
progress
report,
including
2020,
and
that
will
include
a
lot
of
this
pivoting
that
we
did
in
2020,
so
that
that
is
something
we're
really
excited
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
out
there
again,
just
to
make
sure
that
we're
being
transparent
about
the
work
and
and
what
we're
doing
and
why
we're
doing
it.
Secondly,
you
know,
as
it
relates
particularly
to
the
the
tenant
opportunity
to
purchase
policy
that
you
mentioned.
We
do.
M
We
are
planning
to
meet
with
the
many
stakeholders
and
advocates
to
hear
from
them
to
talk
with
them
to
share
that
with
them.
The
work
that
we've
started
doing
on
that
policy
and-
and
I
believe
that
meeting
is
scheduled
in
the
business
schedule-
it
will
be
still
in
june.
We
have
hired
a
consultant,
we
are.
We
have
started
working
on
that
policy
and
fully
intend
to
meet
and
share
that
progress
with
with
stakeholders
on
on
that
front,
and-
and
yes,
I.
M
I
also
think
that
it's
important
for
us
to
understand
what
those
community
stakeholder
needs
are,
and
I
think
we
should
continue
to
have
discussions
with
them
about.
You
know,
as
we
continue
to
identify
the
highest
priority,
needs
for
future
rounds
of
the
american
rescue
plan
act,
and
I
absolutely
welcome
the
opportunity
to
have
those
discussions.
E
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I'm
gonna
be
speaking
to
the
public
safety
related
investments,
and
so
there's
a
couple
of
points
that
I
want
to
make
and
and
a
question
towards
the
end.
So
so
there's
something
that
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
we
pull
apart
and
and
think
through
and-
and
I
don't
think
I
want
to
be
clear-
I
don't
think
it's
malicious
or
anything.
E
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
we're
consciously
understanding
that,
when
there
is
a
under
the
proposals
that
it
under
police
related
investments,
each
one
of
them
has
the
following
passage,
which
is
many
of
these
historic
crime.
Trends
are
centered
around
young
adults
and
juveniles.
E
The
pandemic
has
exacerbated
many
of
the
problems
that
had
and
had
a
significant
impact
on
this
age
group.
Recent
statistics
show
that
just
under
two-thirds
of
18
to
24
year
olds
exhibit
signs
of
a
wide
range
of
mental
health
issues
and
then
goes
on
to
connect
that
to
why
we
need
more
police
and
expand
the
capacity
in
mpd,
and
so
I
just
I
just
want
to
be
like
bring
to
the
forefront
of
our
consciousness
of
like.
E
We
know
that
more
policing
is
not
going
to
address
the
underlying
mental
health
issues,
and-
and
as
I
am
looking
here,
we
are
going
to
have
an
increase.
What's
proposed
here
is
to
more
mental
health,
two
more
mental
health
professionals
in
the
school-based
clinics,
which
is
for
high
school
students.
So
if
67
of
18
to
24
year
olds
are
exhibiting
a
wide
range
of
mental
health
disorders,
we
don't
have
within
this
how
how
we're
actually
addressing
that
and
it's
connected
to
increasing
the
capacity
of
policing.
E
So
when
we
talk
about
building
out
comprehensive
systems,
I
just
want
like
this
is
the
the
point
that
that
we're
trying
to
make
is
that
we
cannot
keep
turning
to
policing
to
solve
these
underlying
issues
and
and
if
we
want
to
be
able
to
actually
solve
these
persistent
issues
that
we're
dealing
with,
then
we
have
to
be
thinking
more
comprehensively.
E
We
do
have
some
really
great
work,
so
I
just
want
to
be
clear,
like
we
do
have
some
really
great
work
here
that
I,
like,
I
said
I'm
excited
about.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
we're
pulling
that
out
and
being
aware
of
the
connection
that's
being
made
between
mental
health
issues
and
increasing
policing.
E
I
also
want
to
just
state
we
were
looking
at
increases
so
civilianization
be
it
would
be
for
support
for
administrative
purposes,
or
that
would
be
for
that
and
it
would
allow
officers
to
con
concentrate
on
law
enforcement
in
all
bureaus
then
contracted
with
law
enforcement
agencies
for
investigators
and
also
patrols,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
just
want.
E
Oh
and
then
there's
the
violent
crime
hot
spot
task
force,
which
I'm
I'm
intrigued
to
to
eventually
hopefully
learn
more
about
what
that
actual
task
force
looks
like,
but
one
of
the
things
that
has
been
a
concern
around
that
I've
had
is
that
I
understand,
obviously,
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
have
enough
capacity
and
mpd
to
do
law
enforcement
work.
That's
I
would
assume
a
general
consensus.
E
At
the
same
time,
research
that
was
conducted
or
adapted
by
the
national
research
council
in
2003,
based
on
their
work,
related
to
fairness
and
effectiveness
in
policing
the
evidence
and
it's
the
research
was
led
by
a
committee
to
review
research
on
police
policy
and
practice
according
to
them
in
effectiveness
of
policing
strategies.
The
standard
model
of
adding
more
police
general
patrol,
rapid
response,
follow-up
investigation
and
undifferentiated
arrests
for
domestic
violence
has
little
to
no
evidence
of
effectiveness.
E
Now,
obviously,
we
need
to
have
people
responding
to
9-1-1
calls
and
we
need
to
be
able
to
have
meaningful
investigations,
but
the
way
that
we
are
doing
business
and
have
been
doing
business
by
legitimate
researchers
in
criminology
and
crime.
Science
have
said
that
this
standard
model
has
little
or
no
evidence
of
effectiveness
in
lowering
crime
and
violence,
whereas
if
we
move
to
more
focused
policing
and
problem
oriented
policing
that
actually
has
moderate
to
strong
evidence.
E
So
so
you
know,
I'm
excited,
like
I
said
you
know
and
interested
in
seeing
more
about
the
violent
crime
hot
spot
task
force,
because
that
there's
very
strong
evidence
of
effectiveness
in
problem
solving
again
hot
spots.
Now,
with
that
being
said,
that
is
not
having
officers
sitting
together
by
themselves
in
a
room
coming
up
with
strategies
and
then
going
and
implementing
it
problem.
Oriented
policing
is
bringing
together
all
sorts
of
different
stakeholders.
We're
trying
to
do
this.
For
example,
on
the
corner
of
logan
and
lowry.
E
We
brought
together
community-based
agencies
that
work
with
folks
who
are
being
sex,
trafficked
folks
struggling
with
chemical
substance,
abuse
disorders
working
with
folks
who
deal
with
helping
folks
with
coordinated
entry
so
that
they
can
get
out
of
beginning
the
process
of
getting
out
of
homelessness
and
then
the
neighborhood
organization
to
connect
with
neighbors.
That
would
be
a
great
place
for
mpd
for
something
like
a
violent
crime,
hot
spot
task
force
to
plug
into
that,
because
we
need
the
enforcement
aspect
of
it.
E
For
this
whole
problem
problem
solving
to
work.
We
need
that
aspect,
but
we
unfortunately
haven't
been
able
to
really
get
that
sort
of
targeted
support.
We're
still
out
there.
We're
still
trying
to
do
the
work,
but
but
that's
what
problem
oriented
policing
is.
It's
not
just
saying
we're.
Gonna,
add
more
capacity
to
just
do
more
of
the
same
thing
that
we're
doing
because
it
hasn't
been
hasn't,
been
effective
and
and
just
adding
more
police
doing
more
general
patrol
is
not
going
to
change
outcomes.
E
The
I
I
will
also
add
around
focus
policing
is
you
know,
as
we
are
getting
as
we
are
getting
looking
to
go
with
partner
agencies
to
contract
with
local
law
enforcement
agencies
for
patrol
again,
it's
like
general
patrol
is,
I
mean
there.
There
have
been
experiments
done
in
other
cities
and
it's
not
effective
in
minneapolis,
there
actually
was
a
study
around
intensive
focus,
focused
intensive
enforcement
and
hot
spot
patrols,
and
those
did
show
some
effectiveness,
and
so
I
guess
my
point
being.
E
It
is
important
for
us
to
make
sure
that
we
have
enough
capacity
in
minneapolis
police
department
to
be
able
to
do
law
enforcement
work.
What
I
want
us
to
not
do
is
to
just
keep
putting
resources
and
building
out
the
capacity
to
do
the
same
things
that
we've
been
doing,
which
have
not
been
effective.
E
We
use
the
numbers
of
what
has
happened
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
because
it's
happened
citywide,
but
what
we
had
in
north
minneapolis
prior
to
a
couple
of
years
ago,
or
starting
last
year,
for
example,
between
2020
and
2021,
is
the
two
years.
I'm
speaking
of
what
we
had
wasn't
working,
it
was
just
tolerated,
and
so
I
want
us
to
start
thinking
as
a
city
around.
E
So
I
just
I
wanna
wanna,
share
that
analysis
and
perspective
and
like
don't
want
folks
to
like
walk
away
from
here,
saying
that
I'm
trying
to
abolish
the
police.
No,
what
I'm
saying
is
that
we
need
to
be
allocating
our
resources
in
more
effective,
evidence-based
ways,
and
then
the
question
that
I
have
is
I'll.
I
think
I
should
direct
this
probably
to
commissioner
musicant
for
the
youth
and
safety
fund.
N
N
There
you
go.
Thank
you.
I
couldn't
come
up
with
the
words
that
is
really
a
combination
of
approaches
that
we
are
going
to
oversee
a
larger
rfp
around,
and
so
there
will
be
youth
and
safety
issues
that
the
community
members
can
address,
but
also
some
other
issues,
and
so
it's
a
mechanism
to
get
some
of
this
money
into
the
community
quickly.
N
E
So,
yes,
I
understand
that,
but
that's
what
the
violence
prevention
fund
does.
So
that's
why
I'm
asking
like?
Are
these
like
the
same
thing
by
different
names
or
because
the
violence
prevention
fund
goes
towards
community-based
groups
that
are
doing
either
youth
violence
prevention
or
just
more
broadly
violence,
prevention
efforts
in
in
the
community?
And
so
so
I
guess
I'm
just
curious
like
because
what
you
just
described
is
essentially
the
the
violence
prevention
fund.
N
Mr
chair
councilmember
cunningham,
it
will
really
amplify
what's
possible
in
that
area
as
well
as
addressing
other
areas,
so
it
it
will
be
tapping
into
the
knowledge
of
staff
to
know
what
what
has
already
been
funded
through
that
other
mechanism
and
then
building
on
that.
So
hopefully
that
partially
addresses
your
question.
N
L
L
That
will
all
be
distributed
through
the
same
rfp
process.
We've
I
mean
in
the
health
department.
We
are
in
a
fortunate
position
where
we
have
a
fair
amount
of
money
coming
in
that
we
want
to
get
back
out
the
door
and
if
we
did
an
rfp
process
for
each
of
the
pots
of
money,
we'd
be
doing
10
rfp
processes,
so
we're
trying
to
combine
these
into
one
pot.
So
when
we
talk
of
when
gretchen
says
other
issues
we're
looking
also
at
our
opioid
work,
our
homelessness
work
potentially
some
of
our.
L
Mental
health
bodies
of
work,
perhaps
some
of
our
maternal
and
child
health.
So
it's
really
an
opportunity
to
pull
together
several
pots
of
money,
including
this
youth
prevention
focus
and
to
do
a
single
rfp.
There
will
be
several
people
in
the
health
department,
as
well
as
representation
from
the
youth
coordinating
board,
to
help
design
this
particular
rfp
process
and
with
the
and,
I
would
say,
with
the
youth
prevention
work.
It's.
L
Perhaps
broadening
the
scope
a
bit
to
to
include
other
issues
that
don't
strictly
fall
within
a
public
safety.
E
C
Thank
you
so
much
councilmember
cunningham,
commissioner
musicant.
I
see
that
you
had
wrote
something
in
the
chat
about
patrick
hanlon's
work
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
maybe
wanted
to
speak
on
it
for
a
moment
or
two.
N
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Yes,
the
question
was
raised
about
staff
capacity.
I
believe
related
to
the
increase
in
the
green
cost
share
program
and
as
we
conceptualized
this,
we
did
ask
for
some
additional
administrative
staff
support
and
also
support
for
some
staffing
and
regulatory
services.
N
That
would
help
reach
multi-family
units,
which
is
really
an
an
area
where
we
have
had
many
projects,
and
we
think
with
the
potential
for
more,
is,
is
high,
and
we
know
that
the
contribution
to
climate
change
from
large
buildings
is
significant,
and
so
we
think
that
that's
really
an
important
focus
area.
C
All
right,
thank
you
so
much
and
I
see
in
the
queue
we
have
council
member
fletcher.
J
I
want
to
start
with
just
a
little
bit
of
a
just
big
picture
comment
that
I'm
a
little
disappointed
by
the
level
of
detail
that
we're
being
provided-
and
I
know
that
there's
more
detail
that
was
provided
to
us
very
recently
that
most
of
us
haven't
had
a
chance
to
digest
that
I
hope
will
be
made
available
to
the
public,
because
what
I'm
concerned
about
is
we're
a
week
away
from
a
public
hearing.
That's
the
one
opportunity
for
the
public
to
comment
on
these
arp
funds.
J
J
Clear
up
front
that
I
that
I
I'm
concerned-
and
I
think
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do-
to
get
enough
information
out
to
people
that
they
can
authentically
respond
to
this.
That
being
said,
I
I
want
to
start
with
some
sort
of
just
big
picture
thoughts
about
this
and
ask
a
couple
of
questions
that
that
can
hopefully
get
us
to
a
place
where
we
can
start
to
drill
down
into
the
details,
but,
let's
just
kind
of
start
with
just
some
big
picture
goals.
J
J
And
everybody
brought
the
programs
that
we
already
have,
because
that's
what
we're
able
to
do
and
that's
what
we're
sort
of
prepared
to
do
and
that
doesn't
necessarily
ask
the
question:
is
that
actually
the
most
responsive
thing
to
the
pandemic
and
the
harm
that
it
caused?
J
And
so
I
want
to
just
make
sure
that
we're
asking
questions
about.
Is
this
actually
responsive
to
the
need
and
the
moment?
And
what's
our
analysis
that
tells
us
that
this
is
the
right
investment
to
be
making,
and
is
this
something
that
is
an
urgent
response,
because
we're
doing
a
process
that
frankly,
is
not
as
transparent
to
the
public
as
I
would
like.
J
I
don't
think
the
public
does
have
as
much
information
as
I
would
like
them
to
have,
and
so
there
needs
to
be
urgency
to
justify
us,
including
it
in
phase
one,
as
opposed
to
pushing
into
phase
two,
where
we
have
time
to
ask
more
questions
and
get
more
information.
J
And
so
I
I
I
want
to
just
sort
of
establish
that
as
a
big
picture
framing
for
how
I'm
thinking
about
this
work-
and
I
will
just
kind
of
follow
up
on
council
member
cunningham's
question
first,
since
we
since,
since
that's
where
we
just
were,
let's.
Let's
stick
with
that
for
a
second
one
of
the
things
that
I
wonder
about
that
expanding
scope
is,
is,
I
was
just
in
a
meeting
on
downtown
safety
earlier,
where
we
heard,
for
example,
from
youth
link
that
they're
interested
in
providing
programming
at
night.
J
J
Expansion
of
scope
might
create
opportunity
for
people
who
are
doing
programming.
That
is
not
necessarily
violence,
prevention,
strictly
speaking,
but
that
is
certainly
preventative
in
terms
of
giving
youth
positive
activities,
giving
people
places
to
direct
their
energy
and
places
to
be
that
are
safe.
J
I'm
hopeful
that
we
can
see
that
expansion
of
scope,
and
I
wonder
if
you
can
just
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
whether
you
think
things
like
a
lot
of
the
programming
that
the
youth
coordinating
board
does
through
the
schools
through
the
parks
through
partners
like
youthlink,
might
be
included
in
that
expansion
of
scope.
L
I
also
appreciate
having
the
opportunity
to
to
get
these
large
chunks
of
money.
We
didn't.
We
didn't
have
a
ton
of
time
to
put
a
ton
of
detail
to
it,
but
but
that's
you
know,
that's
what
we
will
be
doing
and
we'll
be
working
with
all
of
our
internal
and
external
partners
to
help
create
a
process
that
really
responds
to
the
the
needs
of
the
community,
and
I
think,
just
in
a
brief
email
conversation
that
I
had
with
ann
from
youth
coordinating
board.
L
She's
like
we
really
want
to
make
sure
that,
like
after
school
programming,
is
reflected
in
this
opportunity-
and
so
it's
things
like
that
as
an
example,
another
example
is
in
our
opioid
response.
We
are
currently
we
just
recently
issued
an
rfp
to
do.
Youth-Oriented
prevention
work
for
opioids
now,
opioid
overdoses
in
the
last
18
months
have
doubled
and
nearly
tripled
from
2019,
and
we
are
doing
a
fair
amount
as
a
city
to
try
to
mitigate
that
particular
issue.
L
What
we're
not
doing
is
preventing
people
from
ever
using
opioids
to
begin
with,
and
so
I
I
envision
some
portion
of
this
money
being
made
available
to
do
substance.
Use
prevention,
services
which
isn't
squarely
a
public
safety
issue,
but
it's
certainly
related
to,
and
so
in
having
conversations
with
our
community
partners,
those
conversations
will
inform
the
rfp
that
eventually
gets
issued
and
people
will
be
able
to
respond
to
in
order
to
get
some
portion
of
the
dollars
that
are
being
made
available.
J
That's
great,
thank
you.
I
see
the
council
member
schrader
wants
to
stick
on
this
topic
and
I
was
going
to
move
on
to
something
else,
so
maybe
I'll
yield
to
him.
If
you'll
call
on
me
when
he's
done.
C
Yeah!
That's
that
that's
totally
fine
councilmember.
K
Thank
you.
No,
I
just
thank
you,
ms
woodridge.
I
appreciate
looking
at
what
the
need
is
right
now,
but
did
also
have
a
question
about
just
how
much
you're
communicating
with
the
county.
I
know
that
this
is
also
they're
looking
at
the
opioid
overdoses
and
also
seeing
a
real
need
to
spend
some
of
their
dollars
on
that.
So
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we're
well
I'd
actually
like
to
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
how
we're
coordinating
with
the
county.
L
Sure,
council,
member
schrader,
we,
my
opioid
team,
actually
meets
with
the
person
that's
in
charge
of
the
opioid
response
for
the
county
on
a
monthly
basis
to
have
conversations
about
what
is
going
on.
They
recently
did
approach
us
to
ask
some
questions
about
the
hospital-based
program
that
we
have
operating
at
hennepin
health
and
they
were
interested
in
implementing
such
a
program.
L
So
we
do
have
regular
conversations
with
both
the
county
and
the
state
about
the
kind
of
the
collective
body
of
work
that
is
being
done
around
the
opioid
issue
and
then
certainly
regular
weekly,
if
not
daily
conversations
with
the
community
about
how
how
this
issue
is
impacting
them.
C
Great,
oh,
I
see
I
want
to
call
councilmember
fletcher,
but
I
see
that
commissioner
musicant
has
put
herself
in
the
queue
and
I
just
want
to
see
if
it's
still
to
speak
directly
this
to
the
to
the.
N
Yes,
I
just
wanted
to
add
one
more
piece
to
the
discussion
about
this
fund,
and-
and
that
is
a
reminder
of
our
s-
reap
public
safety
priority
and
that
has
ident
been
identified
as
really
the
beefing
up
the
dearth
of
youth
programming
that
there
is
across
our
city
and
that
really,
since
2003
there's
been
a
dramatic
increa
decrease
in
funding
from
so
many
different
sources
for
for
programming
for
young
people.
N
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
council
member
fletcher,.
J
Thank
you,
chair
ellison.
I
want
to
turn
now
to
a
lot
of
the
cped
items,
so
if
director
brennan's
still
available,
I
think
the
first
question
is
just
I.
I
think
this
is
there's
a
lot
that
I
really
like
in
here
and
that
I
want
to
lift
up
in
the
ways
that
we're
really
leaning
into
transitional
housing
and
transitions
out
of
homelessness.
J
I
think
it's
very,
very
important
that
we
take
the
housing
crisis
that
we're
in
very
seriously
and,
and
that
is
something
that
was
directly
exacerbated
by
the
pandemic,
in
a
way
that
we
should
absolutely
be
using
erp
funds
to
work
on,
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
enough.
I
think
we
don't
necessarily
have
visibility
to
all
of
the
partner
commitments
that
we're
getting.
J
I
know
that
we
are
not
the
only
agency
or
even
the
primary
agency
that
addresses
some
sheltered,
hennepin
county
is
doing
very
important
work
and
I
guess
my
question
is:
if
we
have
this
sort
of
unprecedented
opportunity
of
these
recovery
funds,
this
these
rescue
act
dollars
landing
at
this
level.
Are
we
doing
enough?
Is?
Is
this
enough
that
we
won't
see
encampments?
J
Do
we
do?
We
have
an
analysis
that
about
the
scale
of
the
problem
this
summer,
and
and
are
we
meeting
it
because
we
actually
have
resources
we
can
see
there
is
enough,
we
we,
we
should
be
looking
at.
How
are
we
getting
people
housed,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
falling
short
of
the
need
that
we
know
is
out
there.
M
Chair
ellison,
councilmember
fletcher,
that
is
a
really
excellent
question
and
one
I
wish
I
could
answer
completely
and
definitively.
M
What
I
will
say
is
that
we
we
were
looking
you
know.
I
think
director
kruver
went
through
at
the
beginning
sort
of
the
parameters
for
how
we're
approaching
these
this
this
first
round
of
funding-
and
we
really
were
looking
for
opportunities
that
we
could
move
on
very
quickly
and
opportunities
that
we
knew
we
could
really
important
to
signal
and
to
seed
like
the
single
room,
occupancy
low
barrier,
housing
models
envision
that
type
of
thing
with
homelessness
response.
I
I
think
that
you
know
we.
M
We
want
to
make
sure
also
that
we're
leveraging
we're
la
these
are
federal
resources
that
are
coming
directly
to
the
city,
we're
also
wanting
to
make
sure
that
we're
leveraging
those
in
ways
that
bring
other
partners
to
the
funding
table
as
well
and
the
so
some
of
the
proposals
here
you
know
the
the
2.5
million
for
for
permanent
supportive
housing
that
was
intended
to
be.
You
know
we're
hopeful
that
that's
something
that
we
can.
You
know
that
the
county
could
potentially
match
and
provide.
M
M
Where
that
that
still
sort
of
respects
the
traditional
lines
where
you
know
the
city
has
invested
a
lot
in
in
capital,
investment
in
our
homelessness
response
system
and
the
actual
like
physical
infrastructure
of
shelters
and
and
and
housing,
and
you
know
the
county
is
committing
over
a
million
dollars
of
ongoing
operating
funding
like
out
into
the
future,
and
so
those
are
the
kinds
of
partnerships
that
I
think
we
were
really
trying
to
see
if
we
can
like
what
is
available
now.
M
What's
on
the
table,
now
that
we
can
move
on
and
these
funds
do
present
a
tremendous
opportunity
to
move
on
things
that
we
just
were
kind
of
stuck
with
before.
So
I
think
that
that
is
is
is
part
of
our
thinking.
We
will
be
thinking
a
lot
more
about.
You
know
other
other
initiatives
and
we
hope
that
some
of
these
you
know
some
of
these
solicitations
that
we
want
to
do
again,
for
you
know:
creative,
flexible
responses
to
homelessness
and
the
permanent,
supportive
housing.
M
We're
hoping
we
get
interest
in
what
we
we
start
hearing
are.
You
know,
new
ideas,
new
proposals
of
ways
that
we
can
creatively
respond,
and
then
we
would
what
we
would
do
is
follow
up
with
and
propose
that
perhaps
in
the
the
second
round
of
american
rescue
plan
act.
So
we
really
were
thinking
about
you
know
what
do
we
have
the
capacity
to
jump
in
and
do
right?
Now
we
don't
have
the
capacity
and
when
I
say
we
I
don't
mean
just
city
staff,
I
mean
our
entire
homelessness
response
system.
M
So
what
we
hear
time
and
time
again
from
the
shelter
operators
and
our
outreach
teams
and
other
you
know,
other
stakeholders
are
really
critical
in
in
helping
to
respond
to
and
and
homelessness
is,
is
they
have
really
limited
capacity?
M
And
so
we
also,
you
know
if
we
were
to
ask,
for
you
know
five
million
dollars
for
a
brand
new
shelter
here.
I
don't
know
how
helpful
it
would
be
in
this
moment
in
time,
because
I
don't
know
who
has
the
capacity
to
operate
that.
So
these
are
the
kinds
of
things
that
we
have
to
build
over
time
and-
and
you
know,
and
and
as
of
you
know
so
far
this
summer
there
haven't
been.
If
there
have
there
been
very
few
and
far
between
where
anyone
has
been
turned
away
from
shelter.
M
One
of
the
proposals
that
I
you
know
one
of
the
proposals
that
is
really
high
on
our
our
radar
in
terms
of
again
looking
at
the
you
know
the
overall
homelessness
response
system
that
we
have
and
ways
that
we
can
strengthen
it,
not
just
to
meet
the
immediate
crisis
at
hand,
but
to
ensure
that
we
have
a
robust
system
that
helps
us
far
into
the
future.
M
And
one
of
the
things
that's
on
our
radar
is,
you
know,
is:
is
significant
capital
needs
at
harbor
lights?
Not
just
you
know,
to
dress
maintenance
issues,
but
to
make
that
shelter
a
much
more
livable
friendly.
You
know
culturally
appropriate
experience
for
for
people
who
are
staying
there,
and
so
there
definitely
are,
I
think,
additional
investments
that
we
can
consider
to
to
again
to
strengthen
our
homelessness
response
system,
but
this
is
what
we
could.
M
J
Thanks
for
that,
I
think
I
wondered
if
in
the
flex
spending
category,
if
we
need
to
have
some
kind
of
a
reserve,
I
just
it
feels
like
three
years
in
a
row
now,
we've
been,
we
start
having
sort
of
panicky
and
increasingly
panicky
conversations
in
late
august,
going
into
september
about
what's
going
to
happen
when
it
gets
cold,
as
as
more
people
have
started
camping-
and
I
I
kind
of
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
we're
planning
ahead
to
not
be
sort
of
under-resourced
resources
in
some
specific
ways
to
make
sure
that
if,
if
we
are
not
confident
that
we
are
really
meeting
everybody's
need
that
we
are
confident
in
our
understanding
that
we're
we're
going
to
be
responsible
for
an
emergency
response
for
for
whatever
we
whatever
need,
we
aren't
able
to
meet
and
we
need
to
make
sure
we
have
resources
for
that
too.
J
So,
let's,
let's
continue
that
conversation,
but
I
think
you
know
as
much
as
possible
if
there
are
ways
that
we
can
build
on
this
proposal
or
improve
on
this
proposal
to
really
make
sure
that
we
are
addressing
the
crisis
of
unsheltered
homelessness.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
interest
for
that
on
the
on
the
council.
J
I
have
several
questions
so
if
any
of
my
colleagues
are
wanting
to
jump
in
I'm
happy
to
to
yield
but
I'll
keep
going,
if
not
moving
to
economic
development,
that's
the
other
area
that
I
think
is
obviously
really
important.
I
think
that
there
are
several.
J
J
M
Chair
ellison,
councilmember
fletcher,
that's
a
really
great
question.
I
know
eric
hansen
director
of
economic
policy
and
development
is
also
on
this
call,
and
so
I'd
defer
to
him
to
jump
in
and
answer
some
of
these
questions.
He
can
provide
a
little
bit
more
detail
than
I
can
and
if
he's
not
for
some
reason
I
will
I
will
jump
in.
B
I'm
I'm
I'm
here
andrea,
chair,
ellison
and
councilmember
fletcher.
It
was
a.
B
It
was
a
very
tough
year
for
people
in
minneapolis
from
the
employment
standpoint
we
had
about
140
000
people
apply
for
unemployment
benefits
in
2020
and,
as
amelia
stated
earlier
in
her
remarks
it
wasn't
it
didn't
it
hit
other
people
harder
than
you
know,
based
on
economic
class
and
race
than
others,
and
so
we
saw
higher
unemployment
and
underemployment
rates,
black
and
latino
asian
pacific
islander
indigenous
immigrant
populations
that
we
did
with
whites
and
the
programs
that
we
have
here
are
working
with
our
established
workforce
development
system,
which
is
a
pretty
robust
partner,
driven
system
and
one
of
the
best
in
the
country.
B
We
have
a
very
strong
team
of
staff
that
look
at
you,
both
youth
and
adult
programs,
but
we
also
have
a
really
strong
network
of
community-based
providers
and
one
of
the
things
we
noticed
and
what
what
we're
proposing
now
is
is
while
there
is
a
robust
system
of
supports
for
people
to
find
career
work,
that's
also
not
known
universally,
and
so
the
ambassador
program
that's
proposed
here-
is
actually
kind
of
the
the
proverbial
boots
on
the
ground
and
bringing
you
know,
bring
breaking
down
some
barriers
for
people
that
have
that
have
no
clue
that
there
are
resources
out
there
and
to
go
to
where
the
people
are.
B
This
is
identified
in
many
community
conversations.
Both
you
know
throughout
the
city
that
you
know
it's
good
to
have
a
workforce
center
in
south
and
a
workforce
center
in
north.
But
if
you
don't
know,
what's
there,
you
know
what
services
are
there
and
you
don't
know
all
the
the
wonderful
providers
we
have
like
the
urban
league
or
hired
or
or
or
the
others.
B
It's
it's
you're,
not
gonna,
get
the
jobs
that
are
out
there
and
there's
a
an
enormous
amount
of
job
openings
in
in
the
country
right
now,
and
so
we
are
seeing
businesses
rebounding
and
we're
and
we
have,
but
we
still
have
this
unemployment
gap
and
it's
been
a
structural
issue
in
the
workforce
system
for
as
long
as
I've
been
paying
attention
to
the
workforce
system.
B
So
that's
the
that's.
One
of
the
main
programs
is
that
ambassador
program
is
to
break
down
that
barrier.
Another.
D
B
We've
seen
is:
is
it's
hard
to
be
participate
in
the
workforce
development
program?
If
you
don't
have
a
resume,
so
the
minnesota
works
program
is
a
transitional
work
program
that
we
that
was
presented
to
us
earlier
in
this
process
that
helps
people
who
have
had
spotty
or
no
work.
History
start
to
build
skills
and
a
resume
so
that
they
can
participate.
B
One
of
the
biggest
programs
in
helping
people
get
back
to
work
is
dislocated
worker
program
that
doesn't
apply
to
many
people,
especially
there's
a
real
race
divide
between
who
participates
in
that
program
and
who
doesn't
because
of
in
order
to
participate
in
a
dislocated
worker
program.
B
You
have
to
have
that
resume
so
this
transitional
program,
we
think,
also
breaks
down
that
barrier
when
you
see
that
historic
unemployment
and
unemployment
rate,
especially
in
the
black
community
in
minneapolis
and
then
the
third
program
that
we
have
is,
is
just
increasing
our
our
career,
laddering
programs
and
the
green
industry,
which
is
emerging
as
it
always
has
been.
We
there's
also
a
program
in
the
health
department
around
green
skill
building,
but
that
was
an
identified
career
track
program
that
we
just
we
just
don't
have
a
lot
of
resources
in.
B
We
have
a
number
of
other
programs
that
help
people
find
family
supporting
wages
earning
you
know
clear,
career,
laddering
positions,
but
the
green
industry
we
just
are
just
not.
We
just
do
not
have
the
infrastructure,
and
we
think
that
this
is
the
time
with
this
opportunity
to
increase
that
service.
So
those
are
the
three
programs
that
you
see
within
that
economic
development
budget
and
how
we
got
to
proposing
them
and
then,
from
a
capacity
standpoint.
B
We
think
that
we
can
get
this
deployed,
the
budget
that
you
know
the
budget
office
when
they
talk
to
us
about
this.
They
they
want
us
to
get
this
money
out
in
2021
as
much
as
possible
and
maybe
carry
them
into
22.
But
this
is
really
like.
How
can
we
really
get
things?
Moving
and
and
people
are
hurting
out
there.
We
think
these
programs
will,
you
know,
be
targeted
to
at
least
address
that
that
hurt
that's
out
there.
F
C
I
see
councilmember
paul
asano
just
had
a
clarifying
question
council.
Member
of
you
eric
you
can
either
see
it
written
in
the
chat
or
or
councilmember
paul
masano.
You
can
ask.
B
H
Yeah
council,
member
ellison-
I
guess
I'm
supposed
to
speak
to
make
sure
that
I'm
noted
as
being
here
for
this
meeting
too
just
wanted
to
clarify.
I
think
I
remember
similar
information
last
year,
but
because
some
of
this
information
gets
more
accurate
over
time,
you
know
as
there's
more
distance
away
from
it.
Could
you
clarify
it
is
a
hundred
and
forty
thousand
people
in
our
city
saw
unemployment
benefits
in
2020.
B
Councilmember
ellison
and
councilmember
paul
masano
to
be
more
precise,
144
000
people
that
live
in
minneapolis
filed
for
unemployment
insurance
in
2020,
and
there
is
likely
some
duplicative
applications
in
that
number.
But
it's
still
a
staggering
number
for
a
city
of
roughly
over
400
000
people
for
one
year,
so
it
was.
It
was
a
remarkable
year
for
unemployment
in
minneapolis
and
and
I
I
also
want
to
say
that
that's
those
are
people
who
filed
this
doesn't
count.
B
This
under
counts
people's
hardship,
because,
if
you're
underemployed
in
the
job-
that
is
you
know
not,
you
know
paying
a
family
supporting
wage
you're,
not
counted
in
that
number
and
if
you
were
just
not
participating
in
the
workforce,
you're,
not
counting
that
number
from
for
unemployment.
So
that's
just
that
one
data
statistic
to
show
the
impact
and
another
thing
that
I
think
would
think
about
is
when
the
pandemic
unemployment
insurance
top
off
dropped
in
august
in
minneapolis
that
equaled
25
million
dollars
each
week
in
income
going
into
families
in
minneapolis.
B
So
there's
you
know,
even
though
people
have
been
getting
unemployment
insurance,
it's
it
depends
on
how
much
what
time
of
year
you?
You
were
getting
that
insurance
on
how
much
you
were
receiving,
so
that
was
a
600
a
week.
Now
it's
there's
a
300
a
week
top
off
from
the
federal
government,
but
it's
still
not
enough
for
for
many
families
to
stay
above
the
poverty
line.
H
Thank
you.
If
I
may
council
member
cunningham,
do
we
have
any
of
this
data
yet
for
2021,
and
you
know
if
the
what
I've
just
heard
anecdotally
is
that
people
who
use
ebt
cards
regularly
food
stamps
classically
that
they've
received
more
of
that
benefit.
H
B
C
Thank
you,
and
I
know
that
we
sort
of
jumped
in
as
councilmember
fletcher
was,
was
making
his
question,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
go
back
and
right,
but
I
know
that
councilmember
palmisano's
question
was
on
that
specific
topic.
So
that's
why
I
wanted
to
let
her
jump
in
but
councilman
reflector.
Please
go
ahead.
J
Thank
you,
the
the
other
big
investment
in
economic
development
is
reimbursing
business,
licensing
fees
and
and
other
permitting
fees
and
the
way
that
was
the
way
that
item
was
worded
in
the
summary
that
we
were
sent
was
a
little
bit
confusing.
I
think
about.
Are
we
reimbursing
ourselves
for
things
that
people
didn't
pay
or
are
we
out
of
the
recovery
act,
money
or
or
our
businesses
getting
some
relief
or
reimbursement
to
help
them
get
back
on
their
feet?
J
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
sort
of
what
that
item
is,
and
you
know
what
what
fees
are
we
targeting
what
businesses
are
likely
to
benefit
from
this
kind
of
and
investment?
Can
you
clarify
that
item
for
us
yeah.
B
Chair
allison,
councilmember
fletcher,
that's
you
know
that
is
a
large
fund.
It's
kind
of
an
amalgamation
of
a
few
proposals
we
made
to
the
mayor's
office
with
license
fees
for
businesses
that
that,
basically,
is
a
is
a
is
a
rebate
to
businesses
for
paying
fees
this
year.
B
The
way
fees
are
structured,
we
can,
we
can
postpone
the
payment
of
the
fees,
but
we
can't
waive
them,
and
so
what
this
is
is
it's
it's
akin
to
pay
for
that
service,
but
that
fee,
then
is
is
a
direct
reduction
in
expenses
to
the
business.
That's
one
main
component,
there's
also
in
built
in
that
funds,
some
assistance
for
businesses
that
went
out
of
business
in
the
last
year.
They
want
to
come
back
to
reduce
the
fee
that
they
would
have
to.
B
You,
know,
pay
and
and
and
also
their
license
fees,
so
it
reduced
that
barrier
for
for
a
business
to
restart,
because
that
that
is
a
process,
as
you
know,
and
then
there's
still
to
be
worked
out.
Funding
available
for
businesses
that
have
been
left
out
in
in
other
you
know,
like
cares,
acts
and
some
other
groups.
You
know
in
the
in
and
those
you
know
we're
probably
going
to
have
to
get
a
we're.
B
Probably
gonna
have
to
outsource
that
that
component
of
this,
with
a
you,
know,
cdfi
or
another
servicer,
because
we're
thinking
about
maybe
forgivable
loans,
like
we
have
done
in
the
past,
with
george
floyd
square
or
the
forgivable
loans
after
the
pandemic
started
last
year,
and
we
just
took
to
the
council
president's
point,
you
know
we
just
don't
have
the
capacity
to
maybe
run
an
8
million
loan
fund,
so
we'll
be
looking
to
our
community
part,
potentially
community
partners
to
do
that,
but
those
are
still
in
the
works
and
and
again
this
is
a
process
that
is
to
your
point
about.
B
You
know
the
quickness
of
this,
what
we've
heard
and
and
I'm
assuming
everybody
on
the
council's
heard
people
people
want
to
see
this
money
go
out
fast.
This
is
a
very
ambitious
program
for
us
as
an
economic
development
team
art.
As
director
brennan
said,
this
team
has
been
working.
B
You
know
essentially
around
the
clock
for
18
months
straight
and
they
have
been
very
flexible
and
very
adaptive
and
very
innovative
on
trying
to
meet
the
needs,
and
we
are
looking
forward
to
this
challenge
because
we
know
that
the
you
know,
entrepreneurs
in
the
city
and
the
people
who
need
skills
need
help
now.
B
So
I
don't
know
if
we
are,
you
know
how
successful
we're
gonna
be
getting
this
money
out
as
fast
as
we
can,
but
we're
gonna
try
as
hard
as
we
can
and
use
as
many
of
our
community
partners
as
we
can
to
get
these
these
funds
into
people's
into
people's
hands
as
quickly
as
possible.
C
And
council
president
bender
also
has
a
few
questions
related
to
economic
development.
I
Thanks,
mr
chair,
excuse
me:
I
wondered
if
so
I
know
our
business
community
has
been
through
an
impossible
year.
I
also
wondered
if
we
have
thought
about
ways
to
leverage
these
investments
in
ways
that
meet
multiple
goals,
and
so
specifically,
if
we're
investing
anything
that
finances
the
construction
of
new
buildings.
I
Is
there
a
way
to
leverage
that
to
ensure
that
workers
are
protected
from
wage
theft
and
human
trafficking
and
ongoing
issues
that
are
already
illegal
and
or
additional
protections
for
workers?
If
we're
investing
in
businesses,
is
there
a
way
to
leverage
those
funds
to
ensure
that
we're
encouraging
policies
or
practices
that
support
the
workers
who've
also
been
through
such
a
challenging
year?
I
On
the
housing
side,
you
know:
are
we
able
to
leverage
funds
that
may
support
landlords
who
again
need
support
to
protect
the
renters
who
are
in
their
buildings?
I
So
it's
kind
of
a
general
question
from
a
policy
approach
and
then
I
would
be
interested
to
follow
up
on
any
details
in
the
particular
investment
categories.
Thank
you.
B
F
B
Elson
and
council
president
bender,
we
we
work
closely
with
the
department
of
civil
rights.
We
take
wage
theft
really
seriously.
The
challenges
is
uncovering
it.
B
We
do
not
expect
that
our
investments
from
a
city
is
going
to
go
into
a
place
where
it's,
where
they're
exploiting
the
workers
who
are
doing
the
work,
and
so
when
we
talk
with
the
civil
rights
department,
we
follow
their
lead
and
get
their
advice
on
on
what
we
should
do
to
be
making
to
make
sure
that
we
have
that.
We
have
typically
things
in
place
around
prevailing
wage
and,
in
some
cases,
davis
bacon.
If
it's
federally
funded.
So
there
there
is
a
little
bit
of
added
documentation
about
wages,
but
it's
it's.
B
It
is
a
game
that
there
there
are
a
number
of
community
groups
that
are
watching
this
labor
unions,
of
course,
and
they've
been
we've
been
meeting
with
them
throughout
the
pandemic
about
this
issue,
so
it's
not
been
lost
and
when,
when
when
we
know
something,
we
do
something
about
it.
So
I
don't
know
how
much
more
we
can
do.
B
Aside
from
you
know,
deploying
additional
resources
to
you
know
monitor
which
we
don't
have
at
this
moment
in
time,
but
we
don't
we're
not
expecting
and
and
we're
not
expecting
that
we'll
see
wage
theft,
but
again
it's.
It
is
a
something
you
have
to
be
vigilant
about
andrea.
M
Sure,
chair,
ellison
council,
president
bender,
I
can
chime
in
and
just
say
that
absolutely
we
were
thinking
about
multiple
goals
in
in
all
of
the
proposals
that
that
we
we
submitted
to
the
mayor's
office
and
just
a
couple
of
examples
are
you
know
some
of
the
some
of
the
some
of
the
examples
around
reducing,
for
example,
racial
disparities
in
homeownership.
M
M
The
major
changes
that
were
made
in
this
program
and
and
part
of
the
sort
of
multiple
goal
thing
is,
is
that
you
know
increasingly,
we
are
trying
to
ensure
that
our
investments,
our
our
investments,
not
just
in
you,
know
ensuring
that
the
sort
of
the
you
know
the
person
who
purchases
the
home
or
the
person
who
achieves
stability
in
sorry,
stability
and
in
rental
housing
that
that
they
are
benefited,
but
that
we're
building
like
broader
infrastructure
that
that
really
supports
community
organizations
and
community
supports
community
members.
M
You
know
bringing
more
creativity,
bringing
more
new
innovative
investments
to
the
table
to
help
us
really
break
this
barrier
that
we
really
frankly
haven't
been
able
to
break
in
the
past
so
again
like
thinking
of
something
like
a
first
mortgage
equity
fund.
That
is
not
something
we've
done
before,
not
just
as
a
city
of
minneapolis,
but
as
a
as
a
as
a
community.
M
So
thinking
about
you
know,
making
sure
we're
supporting
the
that
that
innovation,
that
is
coming
from
from
community
organizations
and
community
members
and
and
doing
that
in
a
way
that
really
builds
capacity.
M
Another
example
is
the
missing
middle
rental
or
sorry,
the
missing
middle
public
housing
proposal
that
we're
supporting,
that
is,
that
hits
on
so
many
multiple
goals.
One
of
the
things
that
they're
doing
in
in
their
construction
methodology
is
they're,
they're,
actually
using
modular
construction,
and
so
the
importance
of
that
is
that
they're
going
to
be
able
to
actually
build
those
housing
units
so
much
faster
because
of
the
type
of
construction
methodology
that
they're
using,
and
this
is
also
something
that
we
want
to
try
to
strengthen.
M
You
know
as
an
industry,
because
we
haven't
been
successful
in
the
past
and
in
limiting
the
growth
of
construction
costs
and
the
amount
of
subsidy
that's
needed
to
support,
affordable
housing.
So
that's
an
example
of
you
know:
preserving
existing
public
housing,
significantly
expanding
permanent,
deeply,
affordable
housing
for
families
with
incomes
well
below
30
percent
ami
having
them
be
really
focused
on
environmental
sustainability
as
well,
hitting
the
the
the
city's
minneapolis
2040
goals.
To
add.
M
You
know,
density
throughout
the
city,
so
they're
more
missing
middle
type,
housing,
construction
and
then,
and
then
using
the
modular
construction
design
to
again
really
try
to
support
a
new
construction
methodology
that
can
help
get
more
housing
done
more
quickly.
So
that's
just
an
example,
but
I
could
probably
give
you
similar
examples
for
almost
every
one
of
our
proposals
for
how
we've
been
thinking
in
terms
of
multiple.
M
C
Did
you
have
any
more
to
add
council
president.
I
Thank
you,
but
that
was
very
helpful
and
happy
to
follow
up
more,
in
particular
about
the
parts
that
go
beyond
c-pen's
own
scope,
especially
with
an
eye
to
you
know.
Are
there
things
missing
from
this
to
have
that
robust
package
that
we
want
to
have
in
place?
I
did
have
a
question
in
the
chat.
I
don't
think
anyone
else
is
in
here
right
now.
So
maybe
I
should
just
ask
that
now.
Mr
chair,
okay,
I
did,
I
did
ask
finance.
This
is
back
to
public
safety.
I
I
G
Yep,
thank
you,
council,
president
vendor,
so
for
the
public
safety
goal
area,
I
would
just
using
departments
that
are
being
appropriated
these
dollars.
The
police
department
is
being
appropriated,
5.6
million
of
that
goal
area,
and
so
the
remainder
5.9
is
going
to
other
departments.
I
Thank
you,
and
then
I
noted,
I
think
my
numbers
didn't
add
up,
because
I
was
doing
it
for
my
computer
screen
on
a
piece
of
paper,
so
appreciate
that
and
then
I
did
just
want
to
note
that
the
proposal
includes
contracting
with
outside
law
enforcement
agencies.
We've
had
some
of
this
conversation
in
the
past.
I
I
have
legitimate
concerns
about
the
kind
of
lines
of
the
chain
of
command
and
liability
questions
and
concerns
when
we
contract
with
outside
law
enforcement.
It's
part
of
why
I
didn't
support
a
previous
ask
to
the
council
to
approve
a
contract
which
was
approved
by
the
council,
but
never
never.
As
I
understand
it,
there
was
never
any
contract,
even
with
the
council
approval.
I
So
I
mean
again
this
can
be
something
for
follow-up.
I
will
say
I'm
managing
the
fallout
of
an
uptown
of
the
recent
law
enforcement
killing
of
winston
smith,
and
you
know,
as
in
many
other
areas
of
issues.
I
Often
it
is
the
city
or
the
city
council,
member
who
is
out
there
standing
on
the
street,
trying
to
manage
the
fallout
of
of
problems
that
have
been
created
by
a
lot
of
other
agencies
and
we're
not
getting
a
lot
of
information
right
now
from
the
agencies
that
were
involved
in
that
in
the
situation
that
led
to
mr
smith's
kelly,
and
so
I
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
I
hope
our
constituents
expect
us
to
ask
these
questions,
and
I
am
hopeful
that
we
will
be
able
to
get
some
answers
to
questions
about
what
happens
when
we're
when
we,
when
we
are
contracting
with
outside
law
enforcement
agencies,
how
does
the
chain
of
command
work?
I
Who
is
in
charge?
Who
determines
how
those
resources
are
allocated
and
used?
What
happens
if
there
is
a
complaint
around
use
of
force
or
an
incident
related
to
use
of
force
and
as
much
detail
as
possible?
What
the
systems
and
protocols
would
be
will
be
helpful.
Thank.
I
K
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Yes,
in
addition
to
those
questions
from
the
council
president,
I
I
think
it
bears
asking
the
very
basic
question
on
if
the
department
has
reached
out
to
these
other
law
enforcement
agencies
last
time
that
the
council
approved
money
to
to
do
this
exact
same
thing.
K
The
police
department
had
not
reached
out
to
metro
transit
or
to
the
county,
and
we
had
to
prove
money
that
that
was
never
spent,
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
is
has
been
taken
care
of,
in
addition
to
all
the
great
questions
from
the
council
president,
because
it
is
something
that,
if
we're
going
to
go
forward,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
there
and
I
don't
know
if
there's
anyone
from
mpd
or
the
mayor's
office
that
can
answer
that
question
now.
O
O
C
O
Okay,
I
apologize
so
a
couple
of
things,
so
in
2020
we
did
ask
for
funds.
We
had
had
some
preliminary
conversations.
Unfortunately,
there
are
concerns
between
all
agencies,
these
days
with
liability
and
so
within
the
short
time
period
that
we
had
to
have
that
contract
in
place,
we're
not
able
to
finalize
the
contract.
So
I
apologize
that
that
happened.
We
had
hoped
it
would
go
quicker
than
it
did,
and
then
we
just,
I
think,
misunderstood
the
time
frame
on
some
of
the
the
requests
and
questions.
O
There
are
actually
two
ways
that
we
and
we
have
by
the
way
spoken
with
other
agencies
about
this.
We
we
have
not
gone
far
because,
of
course
we
don't
have
the
funding
to
do
this.
Until
that
happens,
it
really
can't
go
through
any
approval
process
at
either
agency,
but
there
are
two
methods
that
we're
looking
at.
O
One
is
where
the
the
officers
would
actually
work
work
for
us
and
help
us
as
almost
a
buy-back
situation
where
they're
working
overtime
and
they're
working
under
the
direction
of
our
officers,
the
other
which
we
think
is
probably
a
little
bit
more
promising,
is
more
of
a
jet
concept
which
we've
had
in
the
past.
O
That
is
actually
addressing
something
very,
very
specific,
and
those
are
contracts
where
we
pay
the
other
agency
and
that
defrays
their
cost.
The
liability
sits
on
each
agency
individually.
Workers
comp
always
sits
on
on
the
specific
agency
that
is
sending
the
employee,
but
the
liability
itself
on
in
a
jet
contract
sits
within
the
agency.
That
is
doing
the
work.
C
Miss
mcpherson
real,
quick,
the
the
the
if
you're,
able
the
tech
team
is,
is
wondering
if,
if
you
are
able
to
turn
on
your
camera,.
C
No
worries:
thank
you.
Customer
trader.
K
K
K
Minneapolis
policies
would
be
enforced
with,
especially
with
the
recent
example
of
you
know
the
the
elimination
of
no
knock
warrants
here
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
then
mpd
using
other
law
enforcement
agencies
to
to
do
basically
do
a
no
knock
warrant,
and
so
I
think
we
want
to
be
very
clear
where
I
thought
the
you
know
the
press
conference
and
everything
was
very
clear.
We
were
no
longer
going
to
have
no
knock
warrants,
and
then
we
hear
anoka,
county
swat
was
executing
and
actually
executing
a
wrong,
no
knock
warrant.
O
I
am
sorry,
but
I
can't
answer
you
from
an
operational
standpoint,
so
I
would
be
happy
to
get
back
with
you.
D.C
halverson
was
on
the
phone
earlier
on
the
meeting
earlier.
I
think
that
he
is
not
any
longer,
so
I
will
get
back
with
you
and
answer
the
specific
questions
to
you.
A
I
am
still
on
the
call.
Oh,
I
can
address
some
of
those
questions
that
you
have.
A
I'm
sorry
so
I'm
sorry
were
you
gonna,
add
something
else
or
do
you
want
me
to
respond
to
those?
Oh.
A
So,
regarding
the
the
no
knock,
I
I'm
not
aware
of
what
what
issue
or
it's
in
you
talk
about,
but
these
these.
These
requests
that
we
would
have
would
be
specifically
towards
patrol
they'd,
be
assisting
out
with
either
one
with
the
hot
spots
that
we
were
identified
and
we
would
have
those
funds
allocated
for
those
other
agencies
to
be
able
to
assist
in
responding
to
those
those
hot
spot
locations
to
respond
to
a
certain
call
to
respond
to
incidents.
A
You
know,
I
think,
with
the
information
that
we
that's
been
out
regarding
our
our
employees,
that
we
are
down
a
a
large
percentage
of
our
employees,
so
these
these
people
that
we
would
ask
to
assist
us
would
kind
of
backfill
in
some
of
those
to
be
able
to
respond
to
specific
incidents
to
back
filter
some
of
our
resources
to
assist
with
that.
As
far
as
liability
as
director
mcpherson
addressed,
some
of
those
liability
issues
would
fall
upon.
A
The
individual
agencies
that
would
come
to
assist
the
primary
primary
agencies
would
be
as
agencies
we'd
be
asking
for
to
assist,
would
be
hammock
county
which
we're
in
hedwig
county,
so
they
would
follow
their
their
policy
procedures,
be
able
to
follow
their
process
of
any
liability
issues
along
with
metro
transit,
which
is
kind
of
the
same
concept.
Same
idea.
K
Thank
you,
chief
albertson
and
I'll
put
a
link
in
the
chat.
There
was
a
news
story
about
the
no
knock
warrants.
C
Any
additional
follow-up:
okay,
great
questions,
I'm
gonna,
move
on
to
council
member.
J
Fletcher,
thank
you,
chair
ellison.
It
feels
like
as
we're
having
a
budget.
This
conversation
around
policing,
it's
worth
just
sort
of
regrounding
everybody
in
that
we
funded
a
a
force
of
nearly
750
officers
and
that
it
is
not
cuts
to
the
budget
that
resulted
in
us
being
significantly
lower
staffed.
It
is
staff
attrition
an
unexpected
and
on
budgeting
such
a
reduced
payroll.
J
I
know
that
for
the
first
part
of
the
year,
many
people
were
still
on
payroll,
as
they
were
working
through
their
retirement
paperwork,
their
their
exit
process,
their
disability,
settlements,
etc.
J
But
a
lot
of
people
have
come
off
the
payroll
now,
and
so
we
actually
have
a
payroll
cost
that
should
be
significantly
lower
than
what
we
budgeted
for,
and
so
I
guess
my
question
is
if
this
was
being
presented
as
an
urgent
need,
particularly
the
civilianization
sort
of
unfreezing
positions
that
are
authorized
within
mpd
that
seem
like
they
would
fit
within
the
payroll
that
was
funded.
Why
are
we
talking
about
arp
funds
for
this?
Why
are
we
waiting
for
the
council
to
approve
it
on
july?
2Nd?
J
It
just
feels
like
this
is
something
that
mpd
is
authorized
to
do
and
has
the
budget
for,
and
so
I
think
we
need
some
explanation
and
we're
going
to
need
some
some
help
and
understanding
how
there
isn't
money,
because
the
way
we're
making
up
for
the
shortage
of
staffing
is
through
overtime,
which
we
budgeted
abundantly
for,
and
I
know
we're
going
to
have
a
robust
conversation
about
that
tomorrow
in
the
public
health
and
safety
committee,
because
we
have
a
staffing
reserve
that
we
know
mpd
is
going
to
come
and
access
tomorrow
for
that
purpose,
and
I'm
skeptical
that
we
can
even
fill
the
full
capacity
of
overtime.
J
I'm
hearing
that
we're
already
not
filling
overtime
slots
that
are
budgeted
because
we
are
short,
staffed
and
so
overtime
is
not
an
unlimited
resource
right
and
we're
going
to
have
challenges
with
that,
and
so
I
I
it
and
then
we've
we've
funded
full
training
programs.
We
know
that
the
the
training
is
funded.
So
that's
not
something
that
comes
out
of
that
payroll.
J
So
I
just
we're
going
to
need
some
help,
understanding
where
the
money's
going,
if
it's
not
paying
for
officers,
which
is
what
we
budgeted
for
what's
happening,
and
why
are
we
coming
for
arp
funding
for
what
feels
like
a
non-emergency
staffing
request,
but
but
probably
something
urgent.
I
think
in
terms
of
us
responding
to
the
attrition,
which
feels
like
maybe
a
little
bit
of
a
separate
issue.
J
So
you
know,
I
wonder
if
either
director
mcpherson
or
d.c
halberson
can
just
help
us
understand,
what's
happening
with
the
budget
in
terms
of
payroll
and
and
how?
How
is
there
not
savings
associated
with
having
so
many
fewer
staff.
O
Councilmember
fletcher,
this
is
robin
mcpherson
I'd,
be
happy
to
answer
your
question
on
that
and
you're
right.
Some
of
this
will
come
up
tomorrow
in
public
health
and
safety
meeting.
So
I
I'm
jumping
ahead
a
little
bit
for
tomorrow's
meeting,
so
I
apologize
you're
right.
We
will
have
payroll
savings.
It's
and-
and
I
know
we've-
we've
talked
about
this
before
a
little
bit
normally,
when
we
have
a
decrease
in
ftes,
active
ftes
people
who
are
actually
working
out
and
and
doing
their
their
daily
jobs.
O
When
those
people
leave,
we
have
obviously
payroll
savings
and
normally
our
overtime
increases
and
there's
there's
somewhat
of
an
offset
between
the
two.
In
this
case
we
have
people
who
are
on
leave
and
are
still
being
paid,
and
so
our
payroll
savings
is
not
as
great
coupled
that
with
the
cost
of
operation
safety
net,
which
was
not
part
of
the
budget
for
2021.
O
On
top
of
that,
we
have
coveted
leave
that
was
granted
to
the
first
responders
and
that's
taking
out
a
chunk
as
well,
and
that's
for
basically,
it
can
be
either
used
for
when
people
were
sick
with
covid
or
are
sick
with
covid,
and
if
it
wasn't
used,
then
that's
available
for
people
there's
no
cash
value
to
it,
but
the
first
responders
can
use
it
after
the
fact.
O
J
Thanks
for
that
yeah,
so
we
can
get
into
more
detail
on
that
tomorrow,
but
I
think
that
that
will
be
one
of
the
questions
that
we
need
to
work
out,
and
you
know
I
I
think
there
probably
is
going
to
be
some
need
to
have
some
real
public
discussion
about
the
money
that
was
allocated
to
operation
safety
net
and
how
that
was
used
and
how
the
public
feels
about
taking
rescue
plan
dollars
and
backfilling.
J
What
we
spent
on
operation
safety
in
that,
rather
than
investing
in
unsheltered
homelessness
or
youth
programming
or
any
of
the
other
significant
deltas.
We
see
in
the
city
where,
where
we
have
a
need
to
make
investments.
C
Thank
you,
councilmember
fletcher
council
president
bender.
I
Thanks,
mr
chair,
I
had
a
lot
of
the
same
questions
about
those
payroll
savings
and
the
costs
of
operation
safety
net.
I
don't
think
other
departments
operate
quite
that
way.
I
Last
summer,
I
think
if
director
brennan
would
have
gone
and
spent
a
few
million
dollars,
we
would
have
seen
a
different
homelessness
response
than
we
did,
and
so
again,
it's
just
a
little
bit
of
a
need
to
make
sure
that
all
of
our
city's
priorities
are
operating
in
the
same
way
and
that
policy
makers
know
what's
happening
and
have
the
full
information
that
we
need
to
be
accountable
to
our
constituents.
I
I
guess,
in
addition
to
the
questions
that
that's
what
fletcher
just
asked
I'll
note
that
the
operations
of
operation
safety
net
in
brooklyn
center,
after
dante
wright,
was
killed
by
brooklyn
center
police.
I
I
So
in
brooklyn
center
the
city
council
passed
an
ordinance
related
to
the
use
of
less
lethal
weapons,
and
the
hennepin
county
sheriff
wrote
a
letter
back
saying
that
they
would
not
follow
the
policies
of
the
city
of
brooklyn
center.
I
So
I'll
just
reiterate
that
concern.
I
have
and
need
for
all
of
us
to
understand
what
we
are
approving
when
when
and
if
we
approve
contracts
with
agencies
who
are
right
now,
unnamed,
whose
policies
we
don't
know.
C
If
not,
then
we
have
reached
the
end
of
the
queue
and
thus
the
end
of
our
questions
for
this
presentation,
and
so
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
my
colleagues
for
their
questions.

I
want
to
thank
staff,
and
I
want
to
thank
amelia
kruger
for
this
presentation
and
the
information
that
we
were
provided,
and
you
know
and
the
level
of
detail
that
we
were
able
to
get
into,
even
though
I
know
we
all
feel
like
we're
working
on
short
timelines
and
everybody's
feeling
that
crunch
and
we
want
to
be
accountable,
and
so
just
very
thankful
for
my
colleagues
city
staff,
who
are
here
to
answer
questions
on
the
fly
and
especially
to
emilia
kruger.
So
thank
you.

Limslims.Minneapolismn.Gov
are
there
any
questions
regarding
the
schedule?
I
don't
see
any
great,
and
so,
as
we
adjourn
just
wanna,
go
over
a
few
more
things
before
we
before
we
adjourn.
Do
any
of
my
colleagues
object
to
us
canceling
tomorrow's
meeting
on
june
10th,
so
I'm
not
seeing
any
incumbent
in
the
chat
so
with
that
we've
concluded
all
business
to
come
before
the
committee.
C
Today,
as
I
believe
we
have
completed
the
vast
majority
of
our
discussion,
I
will
adjourn
today's
meeting
and
instruct
the
clerk
to
cancel
the
adjourned
meeting
scheduled
for
tomorrow
june
10th
at
10.
Am
that
meeting
was
scheduled
as
a
placeholder
if
the
body
needed
more
time
to
hear
from
our
budget
director
and
have
additional
discussion
so
with
the
cancellation
of
tomorrow's
meeting
our
next
meeting
concerning
the
american
rescue
plan
act.
Funding
proposals
is
scheduled
for
a
special
meeting
on
june
16th
at
605
pm.
